After a final trip to hunt Gambel’s quail in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest in February, another hunting season ends.

Hatchery fish can quickly become domesticated to the hatchery environment, and often originate from streams or rivers geographically distant from where they are planted. This means that their genetic makeup can be quite different from native populations, posing a significant threat when they interbreed with native trout and salmon. These genetic differences can, however, also…
“Our lives are full of problems that have no clear answers. Often, the simple solution is hard to find, and the black and white is hidden somewhere in all the gray areas. This isn’t one of those situations. If we want to have wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River Basin, the Snake River is the place. These fish are now at only 1 to 2 percent of their historic populations. Why? Dams. Vedavoo is proud to stand with our partners at Trout Unlimited in support of the proposal to Remove the Lower Four.”

Milestones. Like shifting winds off the canyon walls, come and go without warning. While often more prevalent when we are younger milestones appear easier to recognize as we grow older.
