Very exciting............
...there's a big concrete wall in the way of either adults returning or smolts leaving.

guess I should've kept reading. Another trucking fish around the dam plan based on the success of all the similar trucking efforts. Great way to spend funds though. At least they got all the buzz words: climate change, resilience, collaboration, partners, blah blah blah.
Yes....they have spent a "K-Zillion" dollars on the salmon/steelhead runs on the Columbia river drainage with little success.
CA has been trying to get wild Silver salmon going on the coastal rivers with little success?
On the Northeast Atlantic salmon rivers it has been terrible.
The only thing that works well is to blow the dams, can the hatcheries and slow down the agriculture water needs and pollution?
We need to find the rivers that have the possibility of a wide open / no dam situation with little agriculture and wild fish only.
I would go for 'catch and release', barbless single hook, artificials only on some special rivers.
After that the fish God will take over.
Some predict a World War might be over commercial fish (protein) harvesting in the oceans?
