Adult fall-run Chinook salmon are spawning again in areas of the Klamath River that have been blocked for over 60 years, following the removal of several dams. The fish have been spotted in Jenny Creek and are returning to the newly rebuilt Fall Creek Fish Hatchery. This is a key milestone in the effort to restore fish populations after the Iron Gate Dam removal in late September. Along with Chinook, Pacific lamprey are also returning. The Fall Creek hatchery aims to produce millions of salmon to support the river’s repopulation and long-term recovery.
