Eels harvesting
Tribal Council last week ap-
proved the Branch of Natural
Resources-Fisheries regulations for
lamprey harvesting.
The regulations cover all fish-
ing locations, in particular at
Willamette Falls.
Meanwhile: Tribes have been
working for decades to save the
lamprey from extinction. A recent
report shows some of those ef-
forts have been successful.
The Bonneville Power Admin-
istration announced that the lam-
prey has returned to the Umatilla
River in numbers not seen in years.
This year, more than 2,600 lam-
prey were counted making the
journey upriver to breed.
