Oregon Salmon Counts, with the yardsticks attached
A public-facing board of 2026 salmon and steelhead counts at five counters, compared with 2016–2025 averages and available preseason forecasts.
- For
- Oregon salmon watchers and river-data users
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes dam passage counts from spawning escapement goals and marks which runs lack preseason forecasts.
Field notes
Rows identify the counting method, and the page distinguishes year-round video counts at Willamette Falls from dam-ladder counts collected April 1–October 31. For runs with forecasts, the gauge separates the forecast band, final count, and historical average; expandable charts compare annual totals. The page also reports that only five runs had preseason forecasts, a limitation that helps explain why the forecast comparison covers fewer runs than the average comparison.
