We have been seeing a lot of cool looking mushrooms pop up in the prairies.<\/p><\/div>\n

Well it took a little longer than usual, but the moisture finally settled in the Willamette Valley and the thirsty prairie pools have been filling up, attracting flying V\u2019s of waterfowl and inviting new green life to proliferate.\u00a0 It is this time of year when we start to see more grey than blue, but there is something warm and inviting about the misty mountain tops.\u00a0 And while the hardwoods have dropped their colors, the rivers grow more colorful with the silver backs of Chinook, Coho, and Steelhead.\u00a0 It is always a relief and a rush of joy to see them return to spawn after facing the endless gauntlet of polluted water, damns, fisherman, degraded steam habitat, aquaculture parasites and diseases, and predators.<\/p>\n
