On a recent morning in March, while dew was still on the road, there occurred the salmon smolt mishap of northeast Oregon.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said on Tuesday that one of its tankers was in an accident on March 29, resulting in the escape of thousands of live salmon that were being moved as part of a federal and state program to replenish stocks depleted by dams.
