My personal view: Steady improvement, year to year, IF poaching and illegal types of fishing are controlled, and the creek experiences a scouring by a high flow this winter to clean out sediment and the weed growth. IMO, the biggest issue will be illegal take and keeping fish. This coming year the majority of caught fish will still be small (based on the November electrofishing result).

If the Creek is managed as a trophy water, planting of any kind will be carefully evaluated before resuming (if it resumes)..

Here's the deal: DFG does not have the resources to protect and help nurture the fishery. That is going to be primarily up to us that fish or otherwise use the Creek for recreation. We have to manage the resource; we have to work for the reward.

This was not a survey where fish per mile determinations would have any meaning. It was designed to see the size and age distribution. Later surveys will address an accurate population  number estimate.

No, not yet-a ton of data analysis is being done. We will post a summary when its available.

They monitor their folks especially now during the c/R season. They are conscientious about telling their folks.
