SCHOONER CREEK FISH TRAP:

Good afternoon,

And it was supposed to rain all day today. What a beautiful shirt sleeve day up in Schooner Creek canyon. This morning I got to the trap around 8:00 am and found 3 native Steelhead (2 hens, and 1 buck). I released all three up by the bridge. The water was clear and flowing well. I did raise the gates and clean some debris but the it wasn't bad. No wildlife today.


After Schooner Creek I met other volunteers and teachers further up on Schooner Creek road and spent the day with 38 5/6 graders again from Taft Elementary School teaching fish biology. Very rewarding day and the kids get really involved.


Thanks again Hank, for showing me how to locate those fish.

Mike
