Cedar Creek Hatchery is taking care of our fish.

The Fall Chinook are all ponded and growing fast.

We ponded them into 3 Canadian troughs and 2 concrete tanks.

They will be reaching maximum density by the end of March.

We will be transferring our fish to Rhoades Pond March 30th and will start feeding Wednesday March 31st.

If you would be interested in signing up to be a feeder, please email us at [email protected] leave a phone number so we can contact you.

Thank you for your support

Thank you for your patience and support.

We will be asking for feeders soon.

We will keep you posted.

Thank you,

Fall Chinook update : Cedar Creek Hatchery, 01/22/2021

Quick update on the status and development of the Fall Chinook that were spawned by the Nestucca Anglers in October 2020 here at Cedar Creek Hatchery. There were three egg takes (10/12, 20, 27/2020) totaling an estimated 159,600 eggs for production.

All three groups have hatched (12/7, 18, 26/2020) and are looking lively! The sack fry are currently trayed down in our basket troughs in groups of 5,000. It’s looking like they will be “buttoned up” (sack fully absorbed) by the end of February.

Once the sack fry have completely absorbed their yolks they will be ponded into the hatch houses’ Canadian troughs and we will begin feeding them. I’ll send another update with the ponding details, feed details and some photos so you can see their progress!

Just a quick update showing more pictures from this last weeks spawning and stream enrichment.

Huge thank you to everyone that assisted the hatchery staff with the spawning of our 2021 Broodstock.

There are plenty of fish in the system and we will continue to spawn weekly to collect through the entire run.
