Awesome! Does this mean another partial diversion is being done this year?

Cammer, if you read this, maybe you could let us know?

Thanks!

They built these holding areas every 100 yards or so all the way down to the old easter seal run .The river still , and probably will allways go straight on down through the IR. I don't see any work being done to re -direct water down to the  hatchery .

Sockeye eh?  Interesting.  Wonder if they were Weaver fish that got lost.

Yah , they very well could be GHC . They took the corner a little to fast and wound up in the wrong river  :P . Be nice if they were able to spawn and in a few years many more would show !!!!

Someone should take pictures of the hundreds of dead chum laying on the dry river bed and send them to the media maybe that would get things rolling.  Just a suggestion, and thanks to all who are staying on top of it.

I don't believe they were fixing the problem of water undermining of the bridge . It looked to me as though they were making holding ponds every 100 yards or less coming off the banks  . Thats it, nothin else doin . Those logs they had in the river they would run one off the bank then build the bigger rock around them and form a big pool .

Looks like what they are doing is adding steelhead habitat in the middle of the river.  Juvenile and adult steelhead like holding behind boulder clusters.  The stuff closer to the bank is probably for protection.

If they wanted habitat, they'd be anchoring more logs.  Those rocks look like "barbs", which are supposed to deflect water/debris arount things or protect banks.  They also serve to create eddy's or resting areas for fish.  Barbs are better habitat for fish than the standard armoring of banks by adding rip rap.

gong show, atleast it will take pressure off the other places in the river. I love the canyon, and a few spots on the lower.
