2017-2018 Spawn is in full swing - let them be if you care about the fishery
Permalink  
 


2017-2018 Spawn is in full swing! Please consider not fishing the creek until after it's over. The fish you catch now will have less success in producing the next generation of trophy fish. Lactic acid is toxic to egg viability. This is a small and delicate fishery that has been through a rough few years. Go out and appreciate the fish in their glory but consider giving them a break until at least February - March.

Thanks for posting. Staying away from the creek for two months out of the year isn't such a hardship considering the payback.

What trophy fish?
They’ve been mostly gone for over 12 years.
Thanks, Internet.

I think he’s just a troll. All 5 posts were from yesterday but he’s been fishing the creek since the 80’s apparently.

I’m thinking it’s over but best way to find out is checking the place out.

The spawn is likely over. Watch for redds though!!! Don’t crush the eggs!

Thanks for the updates on the spawn. Fortunately for me my next trip out there won't be for several more weeks, so it sounds like we will be sufficiently post spawn to get back in the water - carefully.
