A variety of types of bait can be used, although salmon roe works best

Wrap the bait in a fine mesh or old stocking and hang it directly in front of the access hole.

Many hands make light work.

Return to retrieve the traps early the next morning.

Open the traps and pour the smolts into a pail of water. Always handle fish over water.

Try not to take long with the fish in the pail, so they can be returned to the stream quickly.

Everyone can take part!

Measure from the tip of the nose to the "V" in the tail. Again, try not to keep the fish out of water for long.

Gently return fish to the creek when done.
