Thank you, Siskiyou news for posting this. Now this, I would expect to see, not at spencer creek. I want to mention at this time, reportable at some time in the past, I think it was like 25 years ago, a fisherman caught a salmon above the C-2 bridge. We have to remember we were raising salmon in the fall creek ponds at the time and some fingerling could have escaped. also, the hatchery had been in operation for about 15 years ,

Interesting how Jenny Creek looks like without the lake. I grew up in Copco #2 from "72-76". I was surprised what the Iron Gate Narrows looked like as well, the bridge and road below. Now I know why the Bass fishing was so good there.

Hi James, we never met because we arrived at C-1 April 18th .1977. But Jenny creek was a favorite fishing spot of ours also.

from what i've read, they are trying to compact the huge cracks in the sediment ahead of the rainy season for future seeding. He's going vertically because its safer, the tracks are also micro imprinting on countour. I do see contour lines on the hill. anyway, it took a long time to get the dams out, it's going to take time to repair its damage. while i kinda disagree on your comments of the dozer operator, i am thankful that you are documenting and uploading this rivers historic change.

So where does your expertise come from exactly.........They getting ready to allow the winder high water to flush more sediment down the river quickly before next years fish runs I suspect. The river is going to heal at it's own pace no matter what we do. Nature will overcome. You are thinking short sided. Think in terms of decades not years.............

The rapids downstream before the “ heron hole “ at the Rv park behind the house above the fish hook should have visible schools if they are running. Possible spot for good drone footage. Some power lines there by the transformer and osprey nests but should have clear view. They would stack up in that hole by the house often and spawn at the edges of it. It’s where the fish wheel was in the preliminary dam removal talks with Scottish power.

I'm not a salmon expert but why does the salmon look so small? Most salmon that come back from oceans have a beaten up color and are much larger. They look like juvenile salmon to me.

And how many salmon would there be in Jenny creek if the dams were still in place? Is your point that they couldn't pull off the impossible task of removing the dams without increasing the sediment levels?

Way more, but these are not wild salmon and are from a hatchery- they will make more and release them. GMO salmon will return so long as those gill nets at the mouth of the river don't take them all, and the weed crops and meth labs on the res don't poison them. We have to hope for the best!

There would be zero salmon in Jenny Creek if iron gate was still there! There was no passage at all. This is the first time in 60 years that fish have been that far upstream and now they're all the way up in Oregon.

This is the same guy who warned removing the iron gate dam couldn't be done safely. The engineers working on the project were all supposedly wrong and didn't know what they were doing. He did his own research and cited Stephen Koshy, an 80 year old retired engineer from Australia who hadn't worked in the field for decades and had suffered a stroke (no offense to Koshy, he was probably great in his prime and having a stroke doesn't necessarily mean you can't perform at a high level). This guy will continue to blast the dam removal project no matter how successful it may or may not be. He is suffering from confirmation bias and will only see evidence that confirms the conclusion he has already arrived at, which is the exact opposite of what a scientist is supposed to do, and it is why no one working on the project will ever take him seriously.

Those horses are mostly on north western edge and feed on the RV parks clover all summer when grasses are dormant. Same with the area deer. They do no damage other than fertilizer and occasional footprints. Starthistle will eventually hold the banks. Better off with river willow and Klamath plums to hold sediment and create structure to hold.

This is all an experiment that somebody decided they wanted to try! Who is going to be held responsible if it fails?! Newscum? He'll be long gone by then. What a muddy mess! I don't think the mud and sludge that came after the dam was demolished was good for the river. It killed a lot of fish that fish and game stocked the river with and contaminated the river at least 50 miles or more downstream. I bet in 20 years, the people are going to regret demolishing most of the dams that have been removed in the last 20 years. Most of these dam removals seem like a United Nations Agenda 21/2030 plan to me. Take away the water or the ability to use it in rural areas, and people move away to the big cities. Right where they want us!

Well I guess those fish didn't see anything about restoration goals since there are Chinook salmon spawning in Spencer Creek on the other side of the Oregon border above all four dams as well as Jenny Creek above iron gate. And as soon as the scent of that spawn is in the water the steelheads are going to be right behind them. Who would have ever thought this would happen so fast?
