Salmon are brought up from a fish trap during the height of the September run of  chinook  up the Lower Columbia River. This fish trap was operated by the Wild Fish Conservancy, which has received grant funding to test  it as a more selective way to harvest salmon.
The salmon are being brought up by two Wild Fish Conservancy biologists  whose backs are shown  here. Justin Eastman, at left and Adrian Tuohy  at right.
