Phil Simpson with the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife will present a Steelhead Production Monitoring Update for the Hood River Watershed.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Hood River Research Program monitors and evaluates actions taken by fisheries co-managers from ODFW and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs to improve wild production of summer and winter steelhead in the Hood River subbasin. The Hood River is one of only five Oregon watersheds to have indigenous populations of both summer and winter steelhead. This virtual presentation will include a brief background of Hood River steelhead life history as well as a summary of recovery metrics as they pertain to the National Marine Fisheries Service biological viability criteria.

A business meeting will follow Phil’s presentation. The October meeting agenda and minutes from our September meeting can be found below. If you missed last month’s presentation by Ben Clemens on The Wondrous Lives of Lamprey, you can watch a recording here.
