REDD SURVEYOR!!
REDD SURVEYOR!!
WHAT: Salmonberry River Redd Surveying
WHERE: on the Salmonberry - CONTACT BELOW for more info
WHERE: on the Salmonberry - CONTACT BELOW for more info
WHEN: April 17; May 1, 15, & 29 for 2016
WHAT to EXPECT:
In 1996, the Salmonberry was identified as the only river in Oregon
with a healthy run of wild winter steelhead. And, despite massive damage
from a 2007 storm that saw significant road failures and landslides,
the river still produces some of the best runs of wild steelhead.
Volunteers from NW Steelheaders and Native Fish Society have been collecting steelhead spawning survey and temperature data from the Salmonberry River since 1993, complementing and expanding on ODFW's data that goes back to 1973. Without all the hours put in by dedicated volunteers, there would be a far less complete picture of abundance cycles, run timing, and fish distribution in the Salmonberry.
