tribal members release unclipped smolts into the Yankee fork with pit tags like other hatchery fish. I guess I shouldn't have called it a hatchery operation that occurs In the drainage,, but the smolts are being released to boost returns for tribal harvest and overall protection of the species in the Yankee fork. Here's a link that explains it better than I did. Sorry for the confusion
