850,000 Chinook Salmon Fry Released Into Fall Creek

On Tuesday February 27, 2024 a rumor started circulating. 

My phone rang and the voice at the other end informed me that “about a million salmon fry were released into Fall Creek”, which empties into the Klamath River.

I prefer facts over rumors, so I jumped into my truck and drove up to the shiny-new Fall Creek fish hatchery. When I arrived, at about 3:00 PM, three men where standing outside the new building nearest Fall Creek chatting among themselves.

  • I know there’s heavy emphasis on wild stock
    I think that every little bit helps including hatchery fish if rebuilding fish populations where there haven’t been any

    Especially 60 years without fish

  • Nanobubbles could be used to treat the silt to decompose the organic silt matter. Pretreatment should always be done before dam removal.

  • Df & W.. had more than adequate time to remove contaminated bottoms ,,instead.

    they went economic/time saving to appease dam opposers…now sediment spread will cost 3 to 4 times and take many years to heal…Everyone loses except for taxpayers again
