Last week, Tacoma Power recovered 42 winter-run steelhead and two coho adults during five days of operation at the Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery separator.

During the week Tacoma Power employees released six winter-run steelhead into the Tilton River at Gust Backstrom Park in Morton.

Tacoma Power employees released eleven winter-run steelhead into Lake Scanewa, behind Cowlitz Falls Dam during the week.

River flows at Mayfield Dam are approximately 5,850 cubic feet per second on Monday, February 8. Water visibility is ten feet. River flows could change at any time so boaters and anglers should remain alert for this possibility.
