I helped a neighbour this morning doing a fish count, which I have never done before but was quite interesting. The screens are set up across the stream to channel the fish into the black tube shown here that flows into the screened box on the bottom right of the photo. The fish are removed while counting and released back downstream. I don't know how many days the count goes for, but after it is done all this is removed and when it is time the salmon can swim back upstream to spawn. Today we saw coho smelt and fry, sculpin, crayfish, and a lamprey.
