A growing Walleye population could spell trouble for salmon, trout and steelhead in the Upper Willamette River. Walleye, invasive predators from the Midwest, have been found as far upriver as Lookout Reservoir.
Biologists say it is improbable that the fish moved upstream from past the Dexter and Lookout Dams, but instead were likely introduced by local jackasses. According to the Register-Guard, biologists estimate 300-900 walleye have migrated past the fish trap at Lookout Dam between mid-November and the end of January.
