Recording – Tony Creek Fish Passage Project

Alix Danielsen, Watershed Group Restoration Project Manager, and Steve Rodriguez, engineer with Wolf Water Resources, present on the Tony Creek Fish Passage Project that was implemented in 2023. This project included 300 feet of stream channel reconstruction to allow for fish passage over a low head diversion dam. The project opened up access to five miles of critical clearwater habitat for several threatened fish species. This project was one of two remaining high priority fish passage barrier in the watershed on Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s statewide list and is a major accomplishment for the watershed!
