The Umpqua Basin Watershed Council meeting was in Reedsport at the Umpqua Discovery Center on Tuesday. Laura Jackson of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife discussing the Salmon/Trout Enhancement Program and led a tour of the Gardiner STEP 'raceway' facilities. Sam and Bill of ODFW show off a lamprey caught in the fish ladder at Smith River Falls. Small mouth bass introduced for sport fishing take a toll on the salmonids and the lamprey - but hatcheries pick up the slack on the coho and steelhead. The lamprey, an eel-like fish, has no such additional protection.
