Clackamas / Eagle Creek Hatchery Clippings

[Catch 22]

I've noticed a few posts where people are confused about the hatchery clippings on the Clackamas River and Eagle Creek.

I've posted this a few times over the last couple years. Here you go. :lurk:


This is for the Clackamas / Eagle Creek

Winter Steelhead

Big Creek stock - adipose & right max clipped
Clackamas stock - adipose & left max clipped
Eagle Creek stock - adipose & right vent



Summer Steelhead - adipose clip only

The Eagle Creek hatchery does not have a summer steelhead program. Therefore, any hatchery summer steelhead on the Clack should be a Clackamas stock summer steelhead.


I hope this helps. Call me if you have questions. I lived on Springwater Rd next to the park for over 23 yrs. Grew up there and guided there. :wave:
