Harris/East Oregonian Kevin Drake and Kyle Pratcher, with the Oregon Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife, use a rowboat to spray the pes- ticide rotenone to kill the fish in a pond in the Umatilla National Forest east of Meacham. The ODFW was killing the fish to rid the pond of goldfish and bullhead catfish. A goldfish lies on its side in some pond vegetation as a cloud of the pesticide rotenone envelopes the fish at a pond in the Umatilla National Forest east of Meacham. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife treated the pond to remove illegally introduced species.
