Snorkeling: Learning from Steelhead What Angling Can’t Teach
Almost 30 years ago, on returning from a remote and little known steelhead stream on the West Coast of Vancouver Island north of Tofino there came one of those decisions that one later remembers as pivotal — a path taken with resulting joys and fulfillments previously unconsidered.
Historical Abundance of Puget Sound steelhead
The Puget Sound steelhead , Oncorhynchus mykiss, was listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2007, prompting the initiation of recovery planning. Recovery planning requires, ultimately, the identification of conditions under which the “evolutionary significant unit” (ESU) can be considered to have been recovered and subsequently removed from the list of threatened and endangered species (“de-listed”).
Update on the Historical Columbia River Steelhead/Salmon Abundance Project
Bill McMillan was awarded a $5,000 grant from the Wild Steelhead Coalition (WSC) in early 2010 to continue research and develop an accurate historical baseline of what steelhead/salmon numbers and distribution were in the Columbia Basin prior to Euro-American contact. Funds for the WSC grant were secured from Patagonia’s World Trout Grant program. A previous update regarding this project was featured in the November 2010 issue of The Adipose.
