In the early 90s I developed a method to fertilize this exact type of habitat without needing to place salmon carcasses. That needs to happen here to realize greater potential of the habitat. This year we are developing a habitat type of "hatchery" to hyper drive wild salmon production. It would work lower in this watershed where greater solar exposure is available. The fish from this type of habitat will be identical to wild fish. There is no need for feeding. Let's keep in touch since we need to further our research in this area.

Very neat project! It would be cool to see a version of this in 1080p resolution - I can tell how much time and effort has gone into this work, and it'd be great to see it in full resolution! :)

Bunch of lies you want to Solomon habitat take down the damn above estacada and the one in Oregon City not destroying the only hot spring for the people on Oregon Pancho brain washers

Happy to hear this work to rehabilitate the river is being done. Are there chum salmon in the Clackamas or was that generic stock video footage? 0:32

In a couple weeks you can see thousands, meaning tens of thousands, of chum just west of Olympia. See Kennedy Creek Salmon Trail.

@@clackamasriverbasincouncil9681 See Googleearth, McLane Creek, Perry Creek, and Mud Bay, extension of Eld Inlet. One spring I live on Mud Bay. During season of outmigration of smolts there were dozens of great blue herons. I timed them. Each heron caught very close to two chum per minute. Bottom half of tide. Fewer per time at higher tide, very few at high tide. Quite the local food source. At a season I’d guess when food is not otherwise at peak for gbh.

The most under appreciated Salmon species. I wish I was closer, I would love to give back to our great anadromous fisheries of the PNW.

@@clackamasriverbasincouncil9681Has anyone operated an RSI on the Clackamas. Or is there a lack of a healthy population in the lower Columbia to take a couple females’ eggs from? It is a quite low cost effort. A few would make one or two strays more likely to find a mate.

Why is there not a hatchery program for bull trout? There is one in Montana and BC as well, i believe.

It’s a shame that for all those years they had poor smolt passage and it took re licensing to make the improvements.

Have you looked at reducing residuel smolt by modifying release timing, location or technique?
@TillamookFishin2 жыл бұрын
Instead of just reduced numbers of released fish.

Thank you for posting this. As a Clackamas river resident and a fairly young angler (36) it's seems like the stories of the past, especially the summer steelhead upper river fishery were truly something special. I now have a 2 and 4 year old and it is very concerning to me that they might not have the potential even I have today, to go angling for a steelhead or salmon. A younger beginner fisherman's is only going to go on so many trips without anything to show of it before they give up. If the opportunity for fish isn't there, the opportunity to create a river advocate will not be there either. I'm only here because I like to catch fish, which has in turn led me to care deeply avout the Clackamas and it's biology and politics. The hatchery spring Chinook broodstock program is an incredible step forward in the right direction. I was hoping they would touch on just how bad the current hatchery spring Chinook numbers are and what a massive waste of tax dollars we spend on fish that never come back. I'll try to tune in on the 30th to ask some questions
