OKANOGAN RIVER SPRING & SUMMER/FALL CHINOOK
Hatchery & Genetics Management Plans
2
What Are They? Comprehensive Production & Harvest
Programs for Spring Chinook and Summer/Fall Chinook in the Okanogan Subbasin and in the Columbia River from Chief Joseph Dam Downstream to the Okanogan River
3
WHY? No Mitigation for Grand Coulee Dam – 60+ yrs
No Anadromous Fish Mitigation for Chief Joseph Dam, 4 COE Lower Columbia River Dams Inadequate Mitigation for 5 PUD Dams Inequity: 630 Fish Ave. Annual Colville Harvest No Colville Spring Chinook Fisheries Abrogation of Federal Trust Responsibilities
4
Summer/Fall Chinook Programs
Integrated Recovery Program: Increase Abundance, Distribution, Diversity of Natural-Origin Summer/Fall Chinook Disperse Hatchery Production of Summer Chinook to Increase Natural Production Realign and Increase Hatchery Production of Summer Chinook Initiate Local Okanogan Summer Chinook Broodstock Initiate Propagation of Later-Arriving Chinook Mark all Hatchery-Origin Chinook
5
Summer/Fall Chinook Programs
Integrated Harvest Program: Enhance Tribal C&S and Recreational Harvest Selective Harvest of Marked, Hatchery-Origin Fish Harvest Natural-Origin Fish When Available In Okanogan and Columbia Rivers

Summer/Fall Chinook Production
Eastbank Hatchery 576,000 existing summer Chinook Chief Joseph Dam Hatchery 500,000 new summer Chinook 1.1 million new later-arriving Chinook PUD Hatchery 400,000 existing summer Chinook

Spring Chinook – Two Phases
Phase I Use Carson Stock Spring Chinook Test Habitat Function Create & Test Tribal & Sport Fisheries Phase II Use UCR Spring Chinook (Methow Stock) Experimental Population w/Fisheries Contribute to ESU Recovery & Delisting
12
Spring Chinook Program
Integrated Recovery Program: Increase Abundance, Distribution, Diversity of Natural-Origin Spring Chinook In Phase I & Phase II Current Reintroduction in Omak Creek Later Possible Reintroduction in Salmon Creek Test Pen-Rearing in Lake Osoyoos Carson Stock Transitioning to Methow Stock
13
Spring Chinook Program - I
Isolated Harvest Program: Enhance Tribal C&S and Recreational Harvest Marked, Hatchery-Origin Chinook Test & Deploy Selective Capture Gear Create In-Lieu Fishing Sites Acclimate in Okanogan at Ellisforde Later Releases Below Chief Joseph Dam Initially Use Carson Stock Harvest all Adult Fish (Goal)
14
Spring Chinook Program - II
Integrated Harvest Program: Enhance Tribal C&S and Recreational Harvest Use Methow Stock Selective Harvest of Marked, Hatchery-Origin Fish In Okanogan and Columbia Rivers Reserve for Integrated Recovery Program
15
Spring Chinook Program Size - I
Omak Creek – 50,000 existing yearling spring chinook Salmon Creek - 50,000 new yearling spring chinook* Ellisforde Pond ,000 yearling spring chinook* Lake Osoyoos ,000 new yearling spring chinook* CJD Hatchery ,000 new yearling spring chinook
