Dams changing Columbia River ecosystems
by KBN D I RBIN
Oregon Department
of Flab and Wildlife
The Columbia River has
been one of the most rapid
ly changing ecosystems in
the Pacific Northwest as
one dam after another was
dropped into place across
its massive flow
It should come as no sur
prise that the changes have
had a profound influence on
the creatures that live in its
waters
N e a rly e v e ry o n e is
aware of the sorry decline
that has occurred in the
once m ig h ty ru n s of
m ig r a to r y

historically worked up and
down its course. Salmon
and steelhead are having
the fight of their lives to re
main in existence in what
was once the most produc
tiv e r iv e r system fo r
anadromous fish in the
western United States
The dams turned a once
uncontrolled, free-flowing
rive r in a series of huge im
poundments. From Bon-
neville Dam. the lower
most on the river, these
lakes nearly overlap each
other except for a few re
maining free-flowing stret
ches on which the dam
builders have not yet given
up
But while these changes
have brough anadromous
runs to their figurative
knees, some species have
taken advantage ol the
changes and have flourish
ed Perhaps most notable
among these has been the
walleye
The walleye is a fish that
was never intended by
fis h e rie s m anagers to
become a resident of the
lower Columbia But it did,
and all on its own And now
it is undoubtedly here to
stay and is fast on its way
to becoming the subject of
a premier sport fishery
How the walleye got into
the C o lu m b ia is s t ill
something of a mystery
although historically the
species has been released
above Hoover Dam in Mon
tana and in the Spokane

Wildlife receives increas
ing numbers of requests for
information on where and
how to fish for walleye
So far, most of the fishing
pressure is concentrated in
two general areas One is
the first few miles below
John Day Dam where good
opportunities exist for both
boat and bank anglers The
other is the reach from
McNary Dam downstream
to just below the Umatilla
Bridge In this area, bank
fishing opportunities are
more limited
Bank anglers have their
best success in late May
and June in the backwater
areas that connect directly
with the Columbia River
mainstem L a rry Bisbee,
warmwater fish specialist
with the department, says
sloughs that open under a
bridge or trestle to the
main river seem to be bet
ter than those which open
through a culvert under
railroad tracks, and In-

The 32nd annual Kanda-

The costume contest w ill
be from 11 a m until noon

The course w ill be from

Most likely, the fish simply
worked its way downstreak
as dams created ideal con
ditions for its survival in
one section of the river or
another.
The im m ig ra tio n has
been a matter of concern
am ong b io lo g is ts who
feared the new and highly-
predatory species would
place yet another hurdle in
the path of the beleaguered
anadromous species Just
how much im p a ct the
walleye has had is still a
matter of question, and
probably a moot one since
little if anything could be
done about the firm ly en
trenched walleye popula
tions if it was determined
they were having a serious
im pact on salmon and
