Hatchery update: 11-09-21 (Sorting Completed)

We have now spawned 40 pairs of Broodstock adults in which will give us our full allotment of eggs. The Hatchery will be incubating our 2022 offspring through the winter.

We would like to say thank you to everyone that worked so hard to collect our Broodstock and assure we met our egg take again this year.

Cheers!

Great action shot of a healthy hook & line donation going to our program holding pen. The sorting process has also began this week at the hatchery and while we are not at our final numbers yet, we are extremely excited to say we are off and rolling as expected.

Here working for you, time to raise some 2021-2022 Broodstock babies……

Stay tuned for more updates soon.

Cheers,

Liberation 2021

On August 17th Nestucca Angler Volunteers with ODFW staff released 100,000 Fall Chinook smolt into the Nestucca river.

The fish were healthy and of size, ready to make their migration down river into the tidewater. They will stage themselves in the bay before heading out to the ocean.

Special thanks to all the feeders that volunteered their time. Also, hats off to the ODFW District office and Cedar Creek Hatchery staff.

Alive, healthy and full of energy. We are now only 10 days out until these fish from our program are released into the Nestucca Estuary.

Cheers, we are here working for you!

Habitat For Elk

Nestucca Angler volunteers team up with Cedar Creek Hatchery and the US Forest Service.

Nestucca Anglers spent several hours mowing the fields behind Rhoades Pond to create better habitat for the elk.
