Two days of 300+ fish in 90 Minutes!

We seem to be at the peak of the 2013 run this week.  Wednesday, 4/17, and Saturday, 4/20 both have counts exceeding 300 fish, with a couple of counts still not yet reported.  Friday, 4/19 is also nearly 300 fish for an adjusted 90 minute count.

We also have blown past the previous third best year of the last seven with more than 2000 fish counted to date, three weeks into the annual migration.  See the Year to Year comparison posted here.  Numbers shown in Red on the log indicate that some count reports have not yet been received.

Today is the end of week 3 of the run.  Most migrations last 4-5 weeks, so if you have not counted yet, or would like to count again, now's the time to contact us for that last chance!  The schedule for open counting slots is posted here.

With lots of fish showing up at Mill Pond over the last couple of days, the flume at the entrance to Middle Pond is full of fish.  Stop by and take a look soon, as they march into the ponds!

Several counters have reported the run "boiling" with fish at some hours.  I also saw an osprey carrying a herring, but was still counting, so didn't get a picture.  He was gone by the time I finished my count.

Please send us photos if you get a chance, and we'll post them for all to see!
