Opal Springs Passage     

The first Steelhead passed through the newly constructed Opal Springs Fish ladder just 12 hours after completion. The steelhead (named Finlay), traveled from Lake Billy Chinook up into the Crooked River unaided by man. Making Finlay the first steelhead to enter the Crooked River unaided by man for the first time in 34 years! Image caught by the ladder camera system. Currently over 30 steelhead have passed up river! 12/23/2020
