Drought and poor conditions in the Klamath River led the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to relocate 1.1 million young Chinook salmon. The fish were at the Iron Gate, Fall Creek and Trinity River hatchery facilities until conditions improve. The young salmon will likely be released in October or November, rather than this spring.
