Sockeye Salmon
and Dams In-Depth

by Gemma Gaudette
Boise State Public Radio, August 13, 2019

Sockeye Salmon in hand, has been listed as Endangered for protection by the Endangered Species Act since 1991. (Roger Phillips photo) It's been awhile since Lonesome Larry made the long journey home to Redfish Lake and found no girl sockeye salmon to mate with. That was 1992. Since then the numbers have gone up and down. As of last week, Idaho Fish and Game reported that sockeye salmon returns are lower than they've been in 10 years. The Boise Weekly has published a series on salmon and dam removal and Idaho Matters jumps in for a closer look
