Fish Passage at Reclamation Storage Reservoirs

• All five Yakima Project storage dams completely blocked fish passage for salmon, steelhead, and bull trout.

• Four were built on natural lakes that hosted sockeye, which were extirpated in the basin

• Habitat above reservoirs is relatively intact, publicly owned, and has relatively cool temperatures and unregulated flow regime

• YN Goal: Restoration of passage to all historic habitat, reintroduction of sockeye, enhancement of Coho, spring Chinook, steelhead, and bull trout
