Yep you're right, eggs. Starting in January the Minto Dam Fish Trap facility will start to be destroyed. Two years later a new fish trap which will automatically trap and move the fish into TANKERS for transport upstream will be finished. No human hands will really be needed, supposedly. Completely automated and the new trap will work at any river flow conditions. Niagra to Packsaddle will probably be closed to fishing, as explosives will be used during the dimantaling and reconstruction of the new one. The Upper Bennet Dam at Stayton will collect and trap the migrating salmon and steelhead. All excess Summer Steelhead and Wild and Hatchery Spring Chinook will get a FREE PASS at continuing up the North Santiam. That could get interesting if the Minto Dam is gone, as ALL the fish could swim on up to Big Cliff's tailrace, though a good number will spawn downstream at the Cable Car crossing. The Minto Dam facility was closed to public access a few years ago due to dangerous conditions at the Minto Dam. Kayakers who put in right below Big Cliff have tried to go over the Minto Dam itself and they get caught right below the Dam on some kind of projections and held in place by the force of the water and some have almost drowned. So they say. The ODFW leases the sight from the Army Corp of Engineers and the ACE, sighting dangerous boating hazards then qualified for special Federal Funds which will pay for the new improved Minto Dam Trap. Pretty clever thinking on someone's part. A great way to get funding!

Furthermore, since 2000, the Marion Forks Hatchery staff has been loading excess Wild Sring Chinook into tankers and dropping them in the North Santiam at the Cooper's Spur
