Hatchery plan boosted to save Pend Oreille Kokanee
Idaho’s Fish and Game Commission urged the Army Corps of Engineers to finance a Sullivan Springs hatchery on Granite Creek to boost Kokanee numbers. Officials cited 200,000 annual catches down from 1 million two decades ago and discussed funding from the Army Corps and Washington Water & Power. The panel also noted license sales dip and renamed Boundary County’s Wildlife Management Area to McArthur Lake WMA.
