Native American tribes start yearly lamprey harvest
By GOSIA WOZNIACKA
The Associated Press
OREGON CITY — They dove
into the cold waters, emerging with
writhing, eel-like fish in hand and
thrusting them into nets.
Thus began Northwest Native
American tribes’ annual lamprey
harvest at a rushing, 40-foot water-
fall about 15 miles south of Port-
land.
The jawless, gray fish are a
traditional food source for tribal
members in the Columbia River
Basin, which stretches from the
Oregon coast to Canada and into
Idaho, Montana and Washington.
Lampreys grow to about 2 feet
long and are prized for their rich,
fatty meat.
On Friday, adults, teens and
children from the Umatilla and
Warm Springs reservations in Ore-
gon and the Yakama reservation in
Washington crawled over slippery
rocks and waded through icy pools
to reach the lampreys’ hiding spots.

A Native American man catches lampreys at Willamette Falls.
The fish latch onto rocks in Willa-
mette Falls with their round, toothy
mouths.
“Our people have always come
here, generation after generation,”
said Bobby Begay, a Warm Springs
tribal member who drove more
than a 100 miles to the falls from
his village of Celilo.
Begay, 46, has attended the har-
vest for more than 40 years. He is
teaching his children and neph-
ews how to navigate the rocks and
where to find the biggest catch.
“The same fishing holes my
grandfather showed me, his father
and grandfather showed him, and I
showed my kids,” he said.
Lampreys taste best when roast-
ed over an open fire, Begay said.
They also can be dried or frozen
for later use. The fish harvested
this month will be distributed to
tribal elders and used for ceremo-
nial purposes, he said.
In previous generations, lam-
preys were abundant up and down
the Columbia River and its tribu-
taries. Biologists have estimated at
least a million once were crossing
Bonneville Dam on the Columbia
east of Portland.
But their numbers have dwin-
dled over the past 30 years because
of the dams and toxins such as pes-
ticides. About 20,000 remain, said
Brian McIlraith with the Columbia
River Inter-Tribal Fish Commis-
sion.
Willamette Falls is the last place
where the fish can be caught by the
hundreds.
Tribes have been instrumental
in advocating for lamprey resto-
ration, and the government has
started paying attention. That’s
because lampreys also offer an al-
ternate food source for sea lions
and other predators that otherwise
would be munching on threatened
salmon.
Tribes have received funding
and run research and recovery
projects. They truck lampreys past
dams and have pushed for con-
struction of ramps to help the fish
navigate the structures.
They’re also looking at breed-
ing lampreys in a hatchery, but
that’s not the preferred method,
said tribal elder Donnie Winishut
Sr., who observed the harvest to
assure safety.
“We would rather see them
grow in a natural way,” Winishut
said. “It’s good to see the young
people coming to the falls and
learning our tradition, and I hope
they can continue coming here to
catch the fish.”
