Roaring Creek is a critical perennial tributary in the Lower Entiat River, Upper Columbia Sub-Basin, in Washington. Trout Unlimited aims to improve production of listed steelhead and bull trout in the Entiat basin, and the Roaring Creek Project has multiple objectives to further this goal. Roaring Creek is currently one of the few productive tributaries…
Long-awaited report shows that replacing the dams’ benefits is possible. Change in the Snake basin is inevitable.
We just released an issue of TROUT magazine that focuses most of its 100 pages on the need to remove four dams from the Lower Snake River. That was an easy call for me as editor because I think removal of the Lower Snake dams, thus giving a huge percentage of steelhead and salmon in the…
The first time I saw the Eel River flowing under the remote redwood forest along Humboldt County’s Avenue of the Giants, I saw a dirty, blown-out river that the locals swore to me was home to massive steelhead. I lived in the small city of Eureka for a couple of years in the late 90s,…
Here are six frequently asked questions about taking down the dams and restoring critical populations of wild fish in the Basin.

By Chris Wood Walt shook his head. “It’s up to you man, but I wouldn’t use a streamer. There’s a ton of wood and other snags in the river through the park. But it’s your call.” At the put-in, another guide commented, “I had two really good streamer fishermen hit the same stretch yesterday, and…

Due to the large amount of public land in the basin —more than one-third is state forest, state park, or state game lands — it is a tremendous…

What makes them so remarkable is how typical they are of others in Trout Unlimited. They are simply two ordinary people doing extraordinary work.
Since ranching and agriculture took hold in the valley in the mid-to-late 1800s, much of the water from the Walker River – which drains two major basins of the rugged eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains before meandering through several flat, wide agricultural valleys and into this desert terminal lake – has been diverted to irrigation, to the extent that in some years no water actually reaches the lake. The water level of the lake has declined so drastically (over 150 feet!) that as of a few years ago the lake can no longer support trout due to its high salinity.
