In this episode, host Zach Urness talks about three different major stories involving salmon in Oregon. And, he posts a really fun song about salmon sent to him by a reader.
Stories:
-A record-breaking run of coho salmon in the Upper Willamette Basin
-Salmon reaching spawning grounds on the Klamath River for the first time in over a century
-The tough situation at Green Peter Reservoir, where one type of salmon (kokanee) has been sacrificed for the hoped rebuilding of another (spring chinook).
Finally, Urness ends by posting a catchy song about salmon.
