Salmonid study

A group of workers from the United States Geological Survey were in Gill Creek in waders Wednesday capturing fish.

They were using poles to poke them away from the walls of the culvert under the bridge, just below the dam and nets to capture specimens.

Some of the fish captured were in excess of 12 inches. One of the workers explained the sampled fish will be tested for mercury and PCBs.

There is no sampling data on the USGS Website.
