It is Mar 7 2014. I was wondering if Steelhead are in the Pahsimeroi Hatchery yet, and when I might see the numbers on your website.
Answer:
Thanks for your interest in Idaho steelhead and the trapping data at our hatcheries. For the past two years we have been able to provide an automated daily update from each of our hatcheries from a centralized IDFG database. In the last year we have been in the process of transferring our database to a website housed at the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission so that information stored will ultimately be easily accessible to managers, collaborators, and the interested public. Unfortunately when large databases like this are being moved and restructured some of the old ways of querying and displaying automated updates no longer work and new products must be developed to perform those tasks. We are in the process of doing that and hope to have daily updates available on our website at least in time for Chinook salmon trapping. Meanwhile we will be developing some interim tables that will likely not be daily but can suffice through the steelhead trapping period. Thank you for your patience.
