I just caught a headline from the local paper where it seems the almighty coho has returned to the South Umpqua after a 50 year hiatus.
I haven't read the story, but just knowing that the coho are rebounding in this river is a great sign.
I used to catch coho out of the South Umpqua when I was in HS, right across the hiway from the HS as a matter of fact.
Maybe I put too much of a hurt on 'em as a kid? NAH, I never kept any of them, but there was a good-sized run.
Glad to see a return.

O yes, since 85 to my knowledge.

Good to hear that some fish are making it past the herd of 400 seals now permanently lodged below Reedsport.

orcas, great whites make me nervous and there are too few to dent the population, we need about 100 resident orcas, then again, they eat salmon too...
