Oregos Rock

Spirit Oregos liked people so she decided to be a huge rock at the mouth of the

Klamath River. Her job each year was to tell the fish when they should leave the ocean and head upriver.

And so, each year, Oregos guides the smelt and candlefish, upriver where the Yurok people net them. They are so oil-rich that they can be burnt as a candle for light.

Then in the spring she sends up the cut-throat trout, in May the giant sturgeon, and in July she calls in [napooie] Salmon, the delicious king salmon.  August is the steelhead run, followed by silver salmon.  Oregos, what a spiritual helper.

The Klamath river is the second largest river in California.... 263 miles long, draining a watershed of 8,000 square miles from its source in Upper Klamath Lake in South Central Oregon.
