[env-trinity] Trinity River spawning survey update for week October 15-19

[Charles_Chamberlain at fws.gov]

Hi all,
The latest update for our mainstem Trinity River Spawning Survey is 
available here:
http://www.fws.gov/arcata/fisheries/

Remember last week, redds were not mapped in reach 2 (Bucktail to 
Steelbridge) or reach 5 (Douglas City Camp to Round House) due to 
technical difficulties.  This week's totals for those reaches reflect two 
weeks of accumulation. 

We started covering the lower river this week (Hawkins Bar to Weitchpec) 
and will continue to do so every other week for the remainder of our 
season (mid-December) or until storms color up the water too much. 

Our crews mapped the locations of 804 redds and 1,106 carcasses October 15 
to 19.

Here's a figure clipped from this week's report showing how this year's 
running total from Lewiston dam to Cedar Flat compares to years previous.



Our guys report seeing fish everywhere.  Get out there and observe some 
spawning if you can!

Charlie
