In late October, CDFW collected and fertilized more than 1.2 million Kokanee salmon eggs at a remote spawning site on the Little Truckee River. In this video, watch our team corral and net the Kokanee - no small feat when the fish are very motivated to swim the other way. After processing at the spawning station, the fertilized eggs were safely delivered to the American River and San Joaquin hatcheries, where they’ll grow into fingerlings and make their big debut next spring to support future an

During the winter of 2025, as part of a broader initiative to expand salmon hatchery release strategies, CDFW released 2 million Chinook salmon fry from the Nimbus Fish Hatchery directly into the American River. These salmon fry were released shortly after hatching, which mimic the same life stage in the wild when they would swim up out of the gravel. This approach allowed CDFW to expand salmon production while salmon raised at smolt size occupy hatchery raceways at maximum capacity. Due to the

For the first time in history, CDFW has begun releasing juvenile fall-run Chinook salmon into the main stem of the Sacramento River near Redding and Butte City from CDFW operated hatcheries. The juvenile salmon come from additional salmon produced at CDFW hatcheries this year and are expected to imprint on the main stem during their migration to the ocean and speed the rebuilding of important spawning areas within the main stem after they return to freshwater as adults. A portion of these salmon
