Oregonâs War On The Tui Chub
enJune 14, 2016
About this Episode
Southern Oregonâs Diamond Lake has a long and frustrating history. Itâs alternated between begin one of the best trout fishing spots in the Pacific Northwest to being overrun with an invasive bait fish called the tui chub.
Twice now, the chub have moved in, caused toxic algae blooms and pushed out sport fish. Both times, state wildlife officials have taken the extreme and expensive measure of poisoning the entire lake. This last happened just 10 years ago.
But now the tui chub have appeared again, and Oregon is trying a new tactic, as Jes Burns of our EarthFix team explains.
