Jackson -

The Jackson fish crew again captured Snake River cutthroats as they head upstream to spawn in a tributary to the Snake River, just as it has been done nearly every year since 1965.

This year biologists captured a whopping 625 fish, the highest number ever recorded. Jackson Fish Supervisor Rob Gipson was unsure as to why the large number of fish, and although they can’t derive a population estimate from the number, it does reflect well on the current status and future of the population.

With a large number of fish laying eggs this year, he said he would expect another banner year about four years from now, when they become mature and will spawn.
