WHITE SALMON — Damming practices cause many species of fish to be unable to use and return to their original spawning areas, decreasing their populations dramatically and removing a keystone species from the waterways.
Since the Condit Dam was removed, the inverse has occurred: coho salmon and steelhead trout have begun returning to the tributaries that feed into the Columbia for their spawning season.

The White Salmon Spawning Survey Project is collecting data about the rising fish population, which the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and University of Washington are using to create a model that can be applied to other rivers to track fish species when there has been a gap in the data, as there was in this instance.
WDFW analyzes the trends and releases the data, and even without the complete picture, they have seen a rise in the number of anadromous fish in the White Salmon since the project’s inception in 2019. This is encouraging because it that shows the species is recovering without hatchery intervention, says J. Michelle Swope, owner of Oly Women on the Fly and organizer for the White Salmon Spawning Survey project.

This work requires dedicated volunteers to continue providing this data, and as the spawning seasons are beginning, the project is looking for people who are excited to participate. Volunteers will receive training, and gear, as well as some perks from pFriem Family Brewery such as gift cards and brewery tours. A fair amount of mobility is required due to the nature of work walking up tributaries and creeks.
“You get [some] nice exercise while looking at beautiful fish,” said Swope. “We see things in these surveys no one else sees because we go in places that people don’t really go.”
Trainings are scheduled for Nov. 2-3, or as needed.
