Irrigon, LSRCP, USFWS Irrigon IHOT Report Irrigon Hatchery and it's associated satellite facilities were built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1982. Irrigon Hatchery is located near Irrigon, OR on the Columbia River. It was part of a pilot program to determine the site's potential for raising steelhead. Irrigon Hatchery serves as an egg incubation and rearing facility for summer steelhead destined for the Grande Ronde and Imnaha River systems. Irrigon is also used as a final rearing site for legal-sized rainbow trout destined for northeast Oregon waters. The spawning of these fish takes place 170 miles from Irrigon Hatchery at three separate trapping and acclimation sites located at the headwaters of the steelhead's spawning grounds. The most prominent of these, Wallowa Hatchery, provides an ongoing support through trapping, spawning and acclimation release activities for the Irrigon Hatchery. Each year, Big Canyon and Little Sheep Creek Trapping and Acclimation Stations provide additional sources of steelhead during the spawning season. |
