Recording available for “Steelhead Production Monitoring Update for the Hood River Watershed”

On October 27th, Phil Simpson with the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife presented a Steelhead Production Monitoring Update for the Hood River Watershed.

A recording of Phil’s presentation can be found here.

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 presentation includes 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.
