Okanagan Nation Alliance reports:

57 million sockeye smolts expected March to June with a goal to capture 40-100 thousand of them to tag. This would be done at the Osoyoos Narrows and at the Zosel Dam near Oroville. ONA is asking that the Town of Osoyoos notify general public to proceed with caution when smolt tagging in progress.

Up to 60 adult sockeye expected this summer/fall. Goal is to monitor survival rates along with an active food program – mostly in the north Basin adjacent to Willow Beach. ONA will be conducting a signage program at the mouth of the Okanagan.
