The river was recently closed to fishing due to low flows and high water temperatures. TU's work and involvement in the watershed has it's foundations in the Teanaway Community Forest, a 50,000 acre recreation hub in the upper Kittitas Valley. Here, native salmonids and other wildlife call its waters and forest home. http://www.tu.org/press-releases/major-step-forward-for-yakima-basin-wat... Partnering with Mid-Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group, the Yakima River Headwaters TU Chapter needs volunteers for a habitat project, designed to provide thermal refuge for fish in the Teanaway. According to Rebecca Wassell, Yakima Basin Program Director, "The work will consist of short-term pool enhancement, walking the streambeds and placing tree cuttings across exposed pools to provide cover and shade."
