Chinook, Steelhead, Bulltrout listings in the Columbia Basin and the West got folks’ attention.

Around 2000, the Steelhead listings, discussions of take, the 4(d) Rule were all brewing, creating concern on the part of water rights holders, growers, as well as resource managers.

In addition, CDs and KCWP began to consider how to assist their traditional constituents.

NOAA held two workshops, one in Touchet. The KCWP and KCCD sponsored a fish screening workshop in Ellensburg and 100 people showed up.

We started talking with fish managers.
