PCT took part in a electrofishing survey this week led by the DFG's Heritage and WIld Trout  team. Several PCT members served as volunteers each day netting fish and collecting and recording data. A good time was had by all in spite of the hard work. Lower, Middle and Upper sections were surveyed with increasing numbers of fish captured as we went up. Most of the fish were small, but there was a fair number of fish in the teens and a few over 20", just as one would expect from recent posts on the forum. H&WT was pleased with the result which was designed to produce a baseline measure of the age and size distribution: appears we have a sustainable WT fishery if we treat it right. Attached are a couple of action shots at a couple of sites-feel free to guess where we were and name anyone that looks familiar to you. I encourage the volunteers to share their experiences as long as tthey don't give away the new "sweet" spots.

If you are interested, we will be involved in additional surveys. To volunteer you must be a member of PCT, so here's a good reason to join and get involved.
