Salmon Outmigration Monitored in Scott and Shasta Rivers Amid Ongoing Challenges

Yreka, CA – The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has released its latest in-season update on juvenile salmonid outmigration monitoring in the Scott and Shasta Rivers, key tributaries of the Klamath River. The data, collected through rotary screw traps (RSTs) since 2001, track the outmigration of Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and rainbow trout/steelhead (O. mykiss). The preliminary report for Julian Week (JW) 24, ending June 17, 2025, highlights operational challenges and provides season-to-date catch data, though no new catch was recorded for the week due to trap closures.
