Staff at Little White Salmon NFH remove planks on June 29 to release 4.95 million juvenile upriver bright fall Chinook salmon for their journey from the Little White Salmon River to the Columbia River and, eventually, the Pacific Ocean. The original release date for the salmon was penciled in on the calendar as July 7, but surging water temperatures in the Columbia River forced a change in plans.
