Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to fund Trout Unlimited (TU) to collect and analyze genetic samples of juvenile steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Orofino Creek watershed to determine if fish present in the creek have anadromous influence. The results of the proposed work would help inform fish passage and habitat restoration projects in the watershed to support Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed steelhead.
