I get this question a lot.

The run forecasts that have been recently released are partially based on outmigrant fry counts. How do fisheries professionals conduct their counts?

Well, they have to determine How many salmon... fry are heading down the river to salt water!

It's a very informative read and I hope you enjoy it!

Next time, could you write us up a summation of the article? I need another reading assignment like I need another friend from uw.

Ok, I read it, it wasn't that long of an article. I wonder what happens if a predator gets in the trap with the smolts?
