CLACKAMAS COMPLETE

A RETURN OF BULL TROUT

Across the Northwest, a sensitive native fish has been lost from many of its home waters. Once widespread and far ranging throughout the cool waters of this region, the Bull Trout has lost many of its habitats and migratory pathways, and has been overfished to extirpation in many rivers… but on Oregon’s Clackamas River, biologists have been working to make things right. Follow these dedicated scientists as they attempt an unprecedented re-introduction of this threatened species, and discover what makes Bull Trout a critical and special part of Northwest Rivers.
