CalTrout, alongside our state, federal, Tribal, and NGO partners, launched a comprehensive monitoring program on the river to track how fish will respond to dam removal and record fish migration through the former dam sites, informing the success of dam removal and long-term restoration efforts.  “It’s been over one hundred years since a wild salmon last swam through this reach of the Klamath River” said Damon Goodman, Mt. Shasta/Klamath Regional Director for California Trout. “I am incredibly humbled to witness this moment and share this news, standing on the shoulders of decades of work by our Tribal partners, as the salmon return home. While dam removal is complete, recovery will be a long process. This individual represents the beginning of the next chapter of recovery for Klamath River fish and for the communities that depend on the watershed.”
