(A place to cause fish to grow)
The Nez Perce Tribal hatchery helps restore naturally reproducing populations of spring and fall Chinook salmon in the Clearwater River basin. The hatchery helps preserve the genetic integrity of these fish populations and, in the long term, establish harvest opportunities for tribal and non-tribal anglers.
On tribal lands next to the Clearwater River, the hatchery is designed to accommodate the incubation and rearing of 1.4 million fall Chinook and 625,000 spring Chinook salmon. Several semi-natural rearing techniques are used to encourage the hatchery reared fish to behave like wild fish. The hatchery will rear and release juvenile salmon at several locations throughout the basin to encourage their return as adults.
At these release sites, the fish will imprint on natural stream water so they will return to that location to spawn. All sites were selected based on habitat that can support spring and fall Chinook and are areas where tribal fishing traditionally occurred.
Fall Chinook Acclimation Sites include:
