Thanks to the Tribes for all their hard work and perseverance! This has been a dream of mine since I first visited the Klamath 35 years ago. I've lived next to it ever since.
This disproves what I was taught, that each salmon returns specially to its personal spawning location. I never believed this limitation of options existed. I am glad my ole teachers were wrong.
Someone explained to me that the scent profile (mineral content etc) of the water is what they follow. If this is the case, they would/could smell the upper tributaries as juveniles but just not access them. Once they can access them, it is believed they'll just keep going up until they find suitable spawning habitat.
Hard to believe thise fish were just hagin around the mouth of that river waitn all those years for the dam to be removed so they could move up stream.
I do not believe this happened. why ? because returning salmon barley have time to make it to the Iron Gate hatchery by this time of year. I bet you those pictures were taken at Bogus creek !!!
They don't go back to the exact little patch of gravel they were spawned in. when a biologist says the salmon go back to where they were born, they mean the same stream. Those fish have been spawning above the dams for tens of thousands of years. Even though the dams were in place for a hundred years, they're evolved instinct is to go back the tributary their ancestors came from.
@@georgehaydukeiii6396 well, yeah, sure. So despite the dams a few salmon got through. So removing the dams will substantially increase the spawning return? Was that the point?
Chinook spend 8 years in the ocean.... how did they return to the river so fast.... Unless, they were already spawning in the river at least 8 years ago and now the "removal of the dams" brought back the Chinook? Hydro Power is CLEAN power and now the Snake River dams are about to be removed!!!!
@@Dangerousoldman The salmon find their river and go up. They don't stop till they find a suitable habitat. Don't overthink the process too much. Opening up new habitat is a good thing. Making the river flow stronger and cooler will help the salmon go up the river further and to better habitat to spawn. It's NOT rocket science. Don't pay attention to the original comment. He doesn't understand salmon. He's just mad that the dam was removed and that's all he understands. DAMs are not all good.
Seriously??? The best you could do??? The Klamath has been stocked with millions of Chinook smolts for decades probably. You don't think that a few of them made it to the ocean 8 years ago and just now got the text that new habitat was available???
Sorry Douglas, you are wrong again! Chinook salmon spend at most, 4 years in the ocean. Most fish return as three or four year olds, after spending two or three years in the ocean. You need to Google "anadromous fish" and "Chinook salmon" Fox news has misinformed you again! Darn it Doug!
Thank you to all who fought for this salmon restoration!
Fabulous!
Couldn’t be happier for that beautiful river! This is just the start 🐟

Science WINS over stupidity.
Now STOP GILLNETING
Cry more 😭
this will impact the fishery all along the west coast, its amazing how when you let nature do what it wants, things work out.
Go salmon! Fantastic DNA must play a part in this.

@@jameswatson4865that is a great explanation, and my understanding as well.
Yes Yes and Yes!!! 🎉
Hooray! Good job everyone who fought for this.
This is WONDERFUL news! 💚✌️🌲
Beautiful
Now, let's work on those Snake river dams!

Yay!
It’s probably not too late to save nature if steps like this were taken everywhere…
Thank you Yurok tribe!!! Thank you Klamath tribe!!! Thank you Trout Unlimited & American Rivers!!!
On to the next! FREE THE SNAKE RIVER!!!
And thank you, the tax paying citizens for it everytime... stop some treaties next.

absolutely!
Thank God for the Tribes. Remove the dams.
My family is from the Klamath it’s a beautiful place Yurok!

They've been waiting for decades. Ask The Fish!
Happy dancing
For sure!
Never thought I'd be so happy about a fish in a river.
Bravo and good luck to all you salmon!
This is exciting news! I'm so happy to hear this. 😀
God bless these tribes and their environmentalists allies.
I've watched the videos of local landowners losing their 💩 that removing the dams will destroy the salmon in the Klamath river forever.
Guess not.
I live in the immediate region, and the locals around there are complete far right, paranoid nut-jobs!
... Nice ! ... Great News !!! 🐟 ...
Best news of all news out there today.
Fantastic!
Great news!

That fish was born 3-5 years ago, it was coming back with or without the dams.
Sure, but now it gets to go much farther upstream.
The salmon wouldn’t return unless they were spawned there. So how was that?
