ok so i have been to tokul 2-3 times and now i'm wondering where exactly do the fish enter to get to the hatchery? it cant be the creek by the big pool cause you would see any trying to force their way up the shallow water on the rocks at the mouth. anyone know? not lookin to stand at an entry pipe, just curious since i have never seen any swim up the mouth. PM me if you dont want to share in public

Believe it or not, it's the creek. I think they mainly move late/overnight/early morning when there isn't any pressure and the low light levels give them protection. Not to mention that those fish are quite stealthy. Have seen some large Steel pulled out of that little clear creek from behind boulders where I'd think I'd have seen them hiding, but there was no visual evidence that they were hiding there.

They sneak up all day long. The tiny little creek by the bridge is how they get into the hatchery. Most of them come in at night though.
