Less Than 50 Sockeye Salmon Return to Idaho’s Red Fish Lake

Despite only 44 adult sockeye salmon returning from the Pacific Ocean to Idaho's central mountain lakes, there are more than 2,000 of the fish available for spawning. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game announced this week the number of sockeye salmon that returned naturally during the 900-mile arduous journey back to Redfish Lake, just south of the small mountain community of Stanley. Despite the low return this year, Idaho Fish and Game said thanks to their program and strategy of "spread the risk" there are roughly 2,750 fish that could naturally spawn. The agency recently released 1,211 sockeyes into Redfish and Pettit lakes for the next journey to the ocean.

The state agency said with help from its partners, it released 477 fish from the Eagle Hatchery into Redfish Lake along with those that returned on their own. Sockeye fish was also captured in Washington by the NOAA Fisheries safety net program and added to the mix. The goal is to raise close to 1.1 million eggs to replenish the broodstock that will be moved to the Springfield Hatchery.
