4-29-2013 - Lamprey Management

For the past couple of years we have been seeing to many Steelhead with Lamprey wounds, makes you wonder how many are killed by Lampreys.  The chemical to control these killers is made only in Europe and the cost is prohibitive as you would imagine.  It was a welcome sight to these biologist at Helen Wyman Hazen Park.  They told us the river conditions were to high to distribute the Lamprey chemical.  I'm told the chemical will not harm or kill fish. Others that it may kill I don't know.

Immensely helpful!! Thank you for this. I am in the midst of this very "search" and you certainly raised some things I hadn't considered.
