Wild Chinook Salmon in the Long Tom?

Few people associate the Long Tom with salmon, but it’s a vital part of the endangered wild spring Chinook’s life cycle in the Willamette system. Juvenile salmon from the McKenzie and Middle Fork once used the Long Tom’s warmer, slower waters as rearing habitat before heading to sea. Today, an Army Corps structure in Monroe blocks access to most of their historic range. LTWC is working with the Corps and the City of Monroe to restore passage for these special visitors.
