OSU scientists comment on flooding and salmon survival
CORVALLIS,
Ore. – In the space of a few days, many rivers
in western Oregon have gone from near-record

Rainfall raises Cowlitz River Flows
Recent
rainfall has removed the need for Tacoma Power
to limit Cowlitz River flows below Mayfield Dam
to near the winter minimum levels. Those who
fish the Cowlitz below Barrier Dam will notice
higher river levels than were present near
Christmas Day.

Fishing: Winter steelhead are still the name of the game in the Columbia River Basin, although several other fisheries are beginning to compete for anglers’ attention.
Sturgeon fishing reopens Jan. 1 from the mouth of the Columbia to McNary Dam, and more than a dozen lakes and ponds are scheduled to receive an infusion of 38,000 catchable-size rainbow trout by the end of the month.

Hatcheries change steelhead genetics after a single generation
CORVALLIS,
Ore. – The impact of hatcheries on
salmonids is so profound that in just one
generation traits are selected that allow
fish to survive and prosper in the hatchery
environment, at the cost of their ability
to thrive and reproduce in a wild
environment.
The findings, published last week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, show a speed of evolution and natural selection that surprised researchers.
