Last year we reported on how the Coquille Tribe was using a special electrified boat from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to remove invasive bass. Now we have an update on how that effort’s being doubled.
Last summer, the ODFW’s Gary Vanderohe explained how his agency’s boat worked, as he took us up the Coquille River to find and zap invasive smallmouth and striped bass.

Never heard of invasive bass -- we got the dreaded snakehead here -- messing with the eco system for sure. Bass are better eats though.

CSM Chuck Stafford I Grew Up Bass Fishing, My Grandfathers would "Kidnap" Me and Take Me Fishing with them. Hard to Imagine, My Favorite Game Fish are Considered Invasive where My Grandchildren Live.

This method sounds horrible, but the ODFW says it doesn't hurt the fish. I guess it is necessary to save the salmon...but what happens to the salmon at salmon farms is horrible!

Thanks for the vote, Chip and thank you for sharing. I used to have relatives in OR, who drove me all over this beautiful State and showed me it's rich history.
