Just when we thought the steelhead run might be drawing to a disappointing close, here comes another slug of fish.
Bodine Hatchery Manager Dave Meuninck said about 275 steelhead pushed through the South Bend ladder last week, renewing hope that perhaps a good run might be salvaged after all.
Of the 275 trout recorded going through the ladder from Oct. 23-30, about 40 percent were Michigans winter run variety and the rest were Skamania, the latter of which should have been here a month or more ago.
