Re-Establishing Summer Chinook in the Yakima River
Objective: To initiate investigation of the feasibility of establishing an early-run fall Chinook population in the Yakima River, with the goals being to:
Develop a naturally spawning adult population in the Yakima River between Sunnyside Dam and Roza Dam, and in the lower Naches River from the mouth to the Tieton River, and,
Increase the number of natural-origin returning summer-run adults in the lower Columbia, Zone 6, and the lower Yakima River contributing to harvest augmentation for both the tribal and sports fishery.
