Coho Restoration Means Good, Green Jobs
Even in good times, work is hard to find on the Oregon coast. Now, with the global pandemic, the coast is reeling. Since 2017, Wild Salmon Center has invested nearly $8 million in Oregon coast coho projects across six watersheds. This summer in the Siuslaw watershed, that means good jobs for log fellers, tree tippers, equipment operators, excavators, truck drivers, and more.

A proposed dam risks some of the best wild fish habitat in Washington State. As the Chehalis River Alliance makes clear, we need better options. Watch Pacific Rivers' new Chehalis documentary online through May 27, which is the last day to file a public comment.

A Bold Catch-and-Release Campaign for Russia
For the Russian Salmon Association, fly fishing and conservation are twin passions. Now the Moscow-based nonprofit, founded in 2009 with the support of Wild Salmon Center and Russian ecologists, fishermen, and scientists, is using its clout to take catch-and-release to the masses.

WSC CEO Guido Rahr tapped a very handy producer (his son Henrik) to tape this great how-to fly tying video to inspire you in the downtime and help you create a beautiful stone fly nymph for the future trips.
