Glenwood Springs Chinook Program Thriving
After six years of unfavorable returns, Glenwood Springs Hatchery saw more than 700 Chinook come home to spawn in 2010. "Although favorable marine conditions likely contributed to increased survival, we are confident that this increase in Chinook returns is due to dramatic, positive changes, made to the program in the last 4 years," said Mike O’Connell, Glenwood Springs Hatchery Manager. "It’s affirming to see our work paying off."
