GWP - Goat Wall Acclimation Pond

Goat Wall Pond (GWP), located in Mazama, Washington, will function as a juvenile salmonid acclimation pond by Yakama Nation staff between March 1 and June 15. This site is located within Cold Creek; a low-gradient spring fed tributary to the West Fork Methow River. Pre-transfer, individual seine nets within the pond location will be moved, shore outward and installed to segregate incoming hatchery pre-smolts from potential interactions with naturally produced juveniles inhabiting the same pond complex while providing migratory access. Once a net is in–place, staff members will conducted a snorkel survey and confirmed absence of fish within the contained area. In-stream, pass-through AllFlex energized antennas will be operational throughout the acclimation period.
