Thanks Ben for all the help.

The time line graph has been updated to reflect the 83,591 Fall Coho and 121,743 fall Steelhead stocked for 2021

Looks like steehead lovers have hired some good lobbyists to represent them at the hatchery planning sessions. 

I dont like it but sadly they make the most sense for a sunstainable fishery down here (as a basis).  Its of course much more complicated than that. Kings and Coho are extrtemely  important even if not the predominant fish. 

Perhaps but perhaps if the steelhead and coho numbers were reversed we'd have a coho season that didn't peter out in mid-summer.  Pure conjecture, but also, we are still at the mercy of Michigan to supply most of the cohos to the lake. If the "steelhead lobby" gets going there to the detriment of cohos its bad news.  With the economic inflationary spiral sure to affect hatcheries, I expect cut backs to occur - both in Michigan and Indiana.    

First of all the time line graph was put together by myself with alittle help to fill in some spots I missed by Ben. Mike are you ok with that so far? Moving forward the graph was nothing more then away to see were we have been and are now. Since I put the graph together I felt some responsibility to keep the graph as accurate as possible. So I updated the fall information to it. With all the butt hurt feelings I wished I hadn't. Mike the fall steelhead numbers are not summer steelhead it is in fact winter run fish. Since Indiana never separated summer and winter Steelhead the time line graph will not either. Coho numbers are reflective over time.

Not trying to start a tiff, Ed.  Mostly we are on the same page and you know we can respect each other's opinions.
