Life or death struggle on the Deschutes: Another fish rescue
Author: Kandra Kent
BEND, Ore. -
As thousands of fish die in the Deschutes River, a few
thousand more were saved during this week's multi-day effort that's
becoming a frustrating annual event for the Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife and volunteers.
On Wednesday, biologists with ODFW,
volunteers with the U.S. Forest Service and others wrapped up a rescue
operation for fish that have become stranded in pools of the river.
"We
salvage as many fish as we can out of the side channel and put them
back into the main stem," said Assistant District Fish Biologist Erik
Moberly.
