Oct 29, 2008 Hoh National Forest, Forks, Washington Early morning flyfishing for steelhead on the Hoh River with Emerald Water Anglers guide Shannon Carroll among the old growth that still exists within the Park. The Hoh river is a pristine glacial Olympic river and is one of the best salmon fisheries on the west coast of the United States, with runs of Steelhead, coho, chinook, and pink salmon. Note: Emerald Water Anglers, as a conservation policy, only fish steelhead in the Olympic rivers, United States of America
November 7, 2008 Mt Shasta CA A spawned-out Chinook salmon watches over her redd in the Shasta River where it runs through Big Springs Ranch about 2 miles north of the town of Mt Shasta. The ranch, which is contributing to degraded habitat conditions, which actually warm water tempt by upwards of 10 degrees as the river passes through the ranch and then spills into the Klameth, is currently under contract for purchase by TNC, therefor TNC and partner organizations have been allowed to research this stretch of river for the first time. They have discovered that is it a very fertile juvenile rearing area and that there are a surprising number of returning salmon in spite of habitat degraded by grazing cattle (often in the river) and irrigation practices. If this purchase is successful, TNC has the chance to improve a large stretch of habitat and quickly improve conditions that will effect numbers of returning fish and habitat in the Shasta and Klameth Rivers. In California, The Nature Conservancy is focusing its efforts on protecting the Shasta River and its tributaries, which create one of the most important spawning nurseries for Chinook salmon in the entire Klamath Basin, United States of America
