Salmon fishing on the Colville reservation

The Confederated Colville tribes are close to building a new salmon hatchery on the Columbia River near the Chief Joseph Dam. Salmon are an important food source and cultural icon for the tribes of the Colville reservation. The Colville tribes are actively fishing the Columbia to feed their members, but they only keep hatchery fish and return the wild fish to the river to spawn.
