Beaver State Podcast: The most-famous fish from Oregon

In this last episode of Season 3 of the Beaver State Podcast, we delve into the stories of Oregon’s native minnows, especially the Oregon chub, arguably one of the most famous fish in the world as the first fish ever delisted from the federal Endangered Species List. We also touch on the more-recently delisted Borax Lake chub and some of the joys and challenges of working with these super-important fish that often go unnoticed by the general public and anglers alike. Our guest this week is USFWS Aquatic Ecologist Brian Bangs, who has a bend in the Willamette River named after him for the role he played in the recovery of the Oregon chub.   Questions/Ideas, email us - Beaver_State_Podcast@odfw.oregon.gov
