PGE will change their fish count reporting

After my last post, I was contacted by Portland General Electric and told that prior to the DRA’s post and mine, PGE had decided to include fish counts for both hatchery and naturally raised fish passed into Lake Billy Chinook. I was glad to hear that. I have always found PGE’s fisheries biologists to be open to feedback and dialogue and am appreciative of their efforts. I was told that the changes will be reflected in the August reports on their website and should be available soon.
