The volunteers at the Marion Baker Salmon Hatchery are sending out an urgent appeal to minimize water usage of French Creek.
This is especially to those that are pumping directly from the creek. As volunteers we have just released 32,800 coho fry in the upper areas and middle part of the creek in the larger pools.
Their lives depend on cool, deep water which also supports chum and cutthroat trout. Thanks for your support.
