  2. Quick History • 1941 ~ Grand Coulee Dam Hydro-electric project extirpates salmon and steelhead. • 1941 to Early 1980’s ~ Resident fishery impacted by reservoir operations. Early fish stocking attempts deemed un-viable. • Early 1980’s ~ Rainbow trout net pen planting begins through grass root efforts by local residents, LRDA formed. • 1980 ~ Congress enacted NWPP&C Act; • Protect Mitigate and Enhance fish & wildlife. • 1986 - 1987 ~ Kokanee salmon and rainbow trout artificial production identified as mitigation vehicle, amended into the 1987 CBF&WP • 1988 - 1990 ~ LRHCT Formed, Spokane Tribe and WDF&W enter into agreements' with BPA for construction of Spokane Tribal and Sherman Creek Hatcheries and long term O&M funding. • 1991 - 1992 ~ Spokane Tribal and Sherman Creek facilities go online. • 1994 ~ Lake Roosevelt Net Pen Program receives BPA funding.
