This action opened habitat to migratory fish for the first time in 100 years. The White Salmon Working Group was formed to create plans for fish salvage in preparation for fish recolonization and to prescribe the actions necessary to restore anadromous salmonid populations in the White Salmon River after Condit Dam removal. Studies conducted by work group members and others served to inform management decisions. Management options for individual species were considered, including natural recolonization, introduction of a neighboring stock, hatchery supplementation, and monitoring natural recolonization for some time period to assess the need for hatchery supplementation.

  • Salmon River B-Run Steelhead
    HATCHERY AND GENETIC MANAGEMENT PLAN Hatchery Program: Salmon River B-run Steelhead Species or Summer Steelhead-Oncorhynchus mykiss. Hatchery Stock: Salmon River B-run stock Agency/Operator: Idaho Department of Fish and Game Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Watershed and Region: Salmon River, Idaho. Date Submitted: Date Last Updated: October 2018 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The management goal for the Salmon River B-run summer steelhead hatchery program is to provide fishing opportunities in the Salmon River for larger B-run type steelhead that return predominantly as 2-ocean adults. The program contributes to the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) mitigation for fish losses caused by the construction and operation of the four lower Snake River federal dams. Historically, the segregated Salmon River B-Run steelhead program has been sourced almost exclusively from broodstock collected at Dworshak National Fish Hatchery in the Clearwater River. Managers have implemented a phased transition to a locally adapted broodstock collected in the Salmon River. The first phase of this transition will involve releasing B-run juveniles (unclipped and coded wire tagged) at Pahsimeroi Fish Hatchery. Adult returns from these releases will be trapped at the Pahsimeroi facility and used as broodstock for the Salmon B-run program. The transition of this program to a locally adapted broodstock is in alignment with recommendations made by the HSRG in 2008. Managers have also initiated longer term efforts to transition the program to Yankee Fork where a satellite facility with adult holding and permanent weir is planned as part of the Crystal Springs Fish Hatchery Program. Until these facilities are constructed, broodstock collection efforts in the Yankee Fork are accomplished with temporary picket weirs in side-channel habitats adjacent to where smolts are released.

  • Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area by Salmon River Steward Luke Connor
    2008 Steward Series Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area By Salmon River Steward Luke Connor When visiting the Salmon River Falls Unique Area you may get to meet a Salmon River Steward. Salmon River Stewards serve as a friendly source of public information as they monitor “The Falls” and other public access sites along the Salmon River corridor. Stewards are knowledgeable of the area’s plants, wildlife, history, trails, and are excited to share that information with visitors. The Salmon River Falls Unique Area attracts tourists from both out of state and within New York. The Falls, located in Orwell, NY, is approximately 6 miles northeast of the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, and is on Falls Rd. Recent changes at The Falls have made them even more inviting. In 2003 the Falls Trail became compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The hard gravel trail allows people with various levels of physical abilities to use its flat surface. In 2008 the Riverbed Trail and the Gorge Trail each underwent enhancements by the Adirondack (ADK) Mountain Club, but are not ADA-compliant. The first recorded people to use the Salmon River Falls Unique Area were three Native American tribes of the Iroquois Nation: the Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida. Because the 110-ft-high waterfall served as the natural barrier to Atlantic Salmon migration, the Native American tribes, and likely European settlers, congregated at the Falls to harvest fish. In 1993 the Falls property was bought by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with support from other organizations.

A salmon’s life begins and ends here in the moun- tains of Idaho. Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and sockeye salmon (Onrcorhynchus nerka) travel nearly 900 miles to reach the spawn- ing areas in the Stanley Basin and, unlike steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), die after spawning.

It was a wild fish and he had Mto release it. We had quite a discussion of why Grandpa got to keep the fish that I had caught earlier, but he had to release his. In spite of my explanation about wild fish vs. hatchery-raised fish, he was confused. Although ultimately, he understood this, when his dad caught a wild steelhead and he had to release it, as well. Both of my grandsons insisted on taking a picture of us with my fish. These moments in the field with our families and friends are the most precious of memories that I hope to continue to have for several decades as a mentor of anglers and hunters, demonstrating “how to harvest” and more importantly how to responsibly interact with wildlife.
