One out of five adult chinook salmon
will not make it through the upper Grande
Ronde River this summer. Instead, the fish
will be trapped in a temporary weir and
taken to Lookingglass Hatchery, where their
offspring will wait to return to the river. It’s
called supplementation, and the Confeder-
ated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reserva-
tion and the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife are using it to increase the number
of salmon in the upper Grande Ronde after
years of posting dwindling numbers. “We’re
lucky if a spawning pair returns a spawning
pair,” said Gary James, manager of the tribes’
fisheries program, about the decline of the
chinook population in the river.
