    Default HELP NEEDED: Potential Fish Stranding at Putah Creek

    What goes up eventually goes down... potentially leaving future trophy fish at risk. Dropping flows may soon leave fish trapped in temporary pools. Help PCT identify opportunities to rescue fish.

    Glory Hole dumping may stop by some time this week and the creek may abruptly return to winter flows 50-80 cfs. PCT is seeking assistance in monitoring for possible stranded fish in bankside areas, small side channels and any other areas where standing water is forming isolated pools that are left disconnected from the main channels.

    Several areas are at known risk:

    Deer Sign: side channel reach from near the road across to the center of the island. Several braids run through this area.
    Accesses 1-3 on Yolo side along the developed trail system
    Access 3, island across from lower parking lot
    Access 5, Island may contain new braided channels down the center, also new minor side channels on Yolo side between Access 4-

    CDFW has a procedure in place if large numbers of fish are threatened but it is imperative that notification comes quickly so that they can be informed.


    Please inform members of PCT of the location(s) of potential stranding or post a reply to the blog here: http://putahcreektrout.org/2017/03/0...fish-stranding .

    Over 50 years ago our Cortland Line Company Rep, retired Joe Paterson now in his 90s, use to work for the CA DF&G in the Fish Rescue Department. He said they gave it up for economic reasons many years ago.

    I think this would be a wonderful thing for the creek and lake.
