For restoring natural spawning, Henry's Lake and Bear Lake are both great success stories. I would love to see more too. Unfortunately many of our reservoirs don't have streams coming in that have viable spawning habitat.
Fixing the streams to allow fish passage requires a cooperative effort and lots of funds. Usually it has taken an effort on the parts of farmers, F&G, and groups such as Trout Unlimited or the Henry's Fork Foundation.
There are also a lot of projects in the works and being completed on streams off of rivers such as the Salmon, Lemhi, Bear, SF Snake, and Pahsimeroi.
It is great to see the diversions and canals getting fish screens and fish ladders being put in.
