NotesAt the time of this publication, the Umpqua's population of wild coho salmon was considered "Depressed." Special concern was noted regarding the North Fork of the Umpqua River because of hatchery strays. The wild fall Chinook population was deemed "Healthy." Chum salmon populations on the Lower Umpqua River and the Smith River were of "Special Concern," and biologists noted that they may not be "valid population[s]." The status of the wild winter steelhead population on the Smith River was judged "Depressed," while the run on the North Fork of the Umpqua River was "Healthy." The summer steelhead run on the North Fork Umpqua River was also "Healthy."
