Hi Covelo , I'm not trying to be rude by correcting you .....
Sacramento Squawfish ARE California natives - I can't imagine them not being in the Eel river 200 years ago . Bass and Sunfish (only exception being Sacramento Perch) are introduced .
Dams and water diversion have killed off any chance of large runs of NATIVE Steelhead and Salmon coming back . Once a race of fish native to a watershed are gone , that's that . Hatchery fish can naturalize and become "wild" , but are not "native" .
Once again , I mean no offense with the correction . D.J.L.
