Fisheries biologists from Utah's DWR and Wyoming's Game and Fish are night netting kokanee salmon for a population survey. With kokanee numbers down in the last year, officials are monitoring the situation through a hydroacoustics survey. The netting is done to truth the results of the sonar data. Results will determine potential fish numbers for next season.
