Just so everyone understands.....hatchery steelhead, both winter and summer, are placed in the Wynoochee River...

No hatchery Coho have been placed in the Wynoochee River since the Dam was built, early 70's. Now I don't know if any hatchery Coho were used before the dam was built.

Re-build the "wild Coho run"????? It'll be interesting to see WDFW approach to this, and how it will be monitored.

There is a fish trap, below the dam.....there were 700+ Coho removed from the trap, during 10/01/18 - 06/01/19, all these Coho were "trucked" above the dam and released. Over the years, many have questioned, the "trucking procedure".....why not just close the trap, force these Coho to spawn below the trap....seems a better use of "wild Coho".
