Ask Fish & Game: Oxbow Steelhead

Q: Does Fish and Game still release steelhead below Oxbow Dam? A: Yes. As part of the same agreement with Idaho Power that supports steelhead coming to the Boise River, Idaho Fish and Game cooperates with Oregon Fish and Wildlife to transport steelhead from the Hells Canyon trap to the Snake River below Oxbow. Approximately 300 steelhead were released there last week.
