Steelhead stocking in Boise River

Chances are very slim that we will stock more steelhead in the Boise River in the fall 2014/spring 2015.  We/Idaho Power can't operate the trap in the winter once we have freezing conditions and we don't want to remove all the hatchery steelhead below Hells Canyon Dam where anglers fish throughout the winter and spring.  We will trap additional steelhead at Hells Canyon next spring but those fish will be hauled to Oxbow Fish Hatchery where they will be spawned and provide off-spring for future generations of hatchery fish.
