[env-trinity] Mainstem Trinity River spawn survey update for October 9, 2015

[Rupert, Derek]

Hello All,

The US Fish and Wildlife Service along with the Yurok Tribe, California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, US Forest Service, and Hoopa Valley Tribe
have another weekly update for our Trinity River mainstem spawn survey
posted on the Arcata Fish and Wildlife Fisheries webpage.

Trinity River spawn Survey update October 9, 2015.
<http://www.fws.gov/arcata/fisheries/projectUpdates/TRSpawningSurvey/2015/TrinityReddUpdate_2015_10_9.pdf>

This week our crews mapped 285 redds (630 total for the year) in the
Reaches from Lewiston Dam  to Pigeon Point, and Hawkins Bar to Weitchpec
(mouth of Trinity River). The graph below is clipped from our weekly report
(limited to the river upstream of Cedar Flat).

Our crews have spotted schools of adult Chinook and Coho salmon that are
marking their way upstream to their spawning grounds. This means the next
few weeks will be a great time to get out and see these wonderful fish as
they build their redds, deposit their eggs, and insure the future of the
species.

Cheers,
Derek
