This paper by Nick Bouwes explores the Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation program within the John Day Basin, focusing on steelhead populations in the mid-Columbia Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU). It highlights the importance of using past research to formulate effective mitigation strategies addressing temperature, water supply, and sediment issues. Additionally, findings suggest that hatchery fish have minimal influence on wild populations, with potential implications for other ESUs. The John Day Basin serves as a critical case study for understanding and managing steelhead populations.
