Last year they hit a record I think at the Winooski (200 plus). Hatchery brook was down last year and this year. Long term 10 year averages I don't know for each. They will review this stuff at the State of the Lake next March. Along with Graham's diet / tracking studies. Definitely going to that next March.
Interestingly Lamoille has been strong 200 plus fish the last few years. Don't know about this Fall. Saranac River decent numbers as well the last few seasons. Although I think the pen rearing over there didn't make any returning fish improvements.
Seems like up one year down next year and anywhere in-between is the normal. Hatchery brook seems down this year to answer your question.
Nice to see 33 Browns though at the Hatchery brook! That must be a record! No steelhead at Winooski?
