Some successes from this year we would like to share with you:

Crooked River

Crooked-River-Running-Through-Smith-Rock-State-Park

In the past year, DRC and our partners have improved fish habitat in the Crooked River by ensuring streamflows up to six times greater than they had been in the past. We expect to improve those streamflows even more in the near future.

Whychus Creek

Whychus Creek running through Sisters

In Sisters, spawning grounds in Whychus Creek are primed for reintroduced steelhead spawning, thanks to new standard flows which now meet the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's recommendation for a thriving fishery and ecosystem.

Leithauser dam removal

Steelhead have access to two more miles of increased flows in Whychus Creek thanks to a collaborative project with the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council and other partners. Watch the time lapse video of the dam removal.
