-Conduct juvenile Chinook salmon distribution surveys to document recolonization of the basin.
-Estimate spring Chinook salmon parr densities in the West Fork.
-Measure river flows and water temperatures throughout the Hood River basin.
-Reconstruct run year 2021 harvest and escapement.
-Complete final year of estimating the capture efficiency of the adult fish trap Moving Falls Fish Facility (MFFF) for spring Chinook salmon. Note: this task was not completed during FY 2021 due to Covid closures and low escapement.
