Our Friday group of trackers picked up 17 of our 20 fish (again) between Hendricks and Bellinger.
The group of fish at RM 21.0 dispersed, with Nigel and Stanley heading upstream about a half mile while Radio remained in place.
The remaining 14 fish showed very little movement – at most, 1/10th mile.
A second trip took place on Saturday – our first outside the initial release section. We hoped to locate Sonya (released at RM 19.0), Mike S. (released at RM 20.0) and perhaps even Dixie (released at RM 23.2).
We found Mike S. in a side channel at approximately RM 17.3, three miles downstream from his release site. You can see on the image above that Mike S. has gone quite a ways relative to our other fish. Since we did not locate him on any previous tracking trips it is likely that he moved down past Bellinger (RM 19.0) nearly immediately after he was released.
Follow Our Fish! to track Mike S., as well as the rest of our trout online!
