Road Trip - Bringing The Salmon Back Home
I would like to see a film with a group
actually catching and releasing salmon in Latah.
Sort of a
road trip.
Taxi salmon may take some know how and seeing
someone actually doing it would be helpful.
You could get into
the spirit of the thing with a caravan of cars carrying salmon
with people talking and doing things.
How big are the salmon?
How long in water container can they survive?
When is the best
time to catch them?
Have a good time.

Here's some answers to the questions:
Hopefully the films and website get the idea across and some people take a look at the website and a couple realize they can contribute to this and do so.
Good idea for a 'Taxi' caravan - salmon road trip.
It would be incredible to make a film on the people on the trip driving by the dams without fish passage and their comments, and the comments about how different it would be if the salmon were back in Spokane like they now are in Brewster, Omak, Oroville, Osoyoos.
Boom time for the salmon on the Okanogan River - to most everyone's amazement. The started coming back in larger quantities in the late 90's.
The salmon are at Chief Joseph now - thousands each day... Through September or so. The sockeye run starts in late June.
Here are more photos of salmon, salmon fishing and more.
Lots of salmon fishing at Chief Joseph between Brewster and Bridgeport at Chief Joseph from July through September. Brewster has started a big Salmon Festival when the Salmon return each year.

The people that catch the salmon know how to catch them to eat - bet, some would know how to keep them alive. Apparently Sockeye can be very lively when caught and brought on shore or into the boat.
Catching and moving salmon hundreds of miles, more than 5 hours in the container, has been done with success. The trick is to keep the water cool. Salmon don't do well as the water gets warm.
Sockeye are 15 to 30 pounds or so, 18 to 24 inches or more. Chinook can be double that - size and weight - probably.
If you know of anyone(s) with a big water container, pickup/truck that would be a great start. Need some people that know how to catch salmon. It would be great to have some women, in addition to the men, catching a big one and along with others bring them live back to Spokane to return to where Latah meets Spokane.
It would be a great road trip - that next road trips could repeat for years.
The salmon certainly would appreciate it - so would the entire Spokane region.
