250K steelhead are missing from a Washington state hatchery.
Washington state wildlife managers say nearly 250,000 young steelhead fish are missing from a rearing pond at the Lyons Ferry Hatchery on the Snake River near Palouse Falls.
Officials say a rubber gasket that sealed a screened rotating drum failed, leaving a gap that created a path for the fish to head to the Snake River.
