Over 47,000 of these Coho juveniles which were raised by the USACE at Warm Springs Dam Hatchery have been released into Sheephouse Creek since 2004 as part part of an ongoing multi million dollar taxpayer funded Russian River Coho Salmon Captive Broodstock Program. The only way that Coho Salmon can be restored in the Russian River is if lower river tributaries such as Austin, Freezeout, Sheephouse, Dutch Bill, and Green Valley Creeks are recovered to functional Coho salmon conditions.
