Upper river temperatures have continued to trend slightly lower than 2023 while lower river temperatures rose above recorded temps during this past heat wave. In the upper river, temperatures remain “optimal” (50F-65F) to “semi-stressful” (65F-68F) for adult
spring salmonids holding in the river. Fortunately, Trinity River conditions have produced minimal stressors thus far, providing spring-run chinook with high levels of dissolved oxygen as well as refugia for holding.</div>

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife installed the Junction City Weir last week and began collecting data on July 11, 2024. On the first day of operation, 20% (8 of 40) spring Chinook observed low severity of gill rot (presumed columnaris). Although
cases did not show as severe, elevated river and air temperatures has led the committee to update the Upper River Trinity to “yellow” cautionary status. Planned increase in ROD releases between July 16 and August 3 assisted in lowering upper river temperatures,
further aiding holding springers in this section. </div>

The loss of habitat and the changing climate are reducing the viability of native freshwater species worldwide—and California is no exception to this. For decades the state has struggled to protect its native species. Today, roughly half of California’s native
freshwater plants and animals are vulnerable to extinction by the end of this century (Howard et al. 2015; Moyle et al 2022). Rapid changes in climate are making it harder to conserve these species.

Trinity River Restoration Program and partners will begin work at the Upper Conner Creek Channel Rehabilitation Project site on the Trinity River soon. The site is located approximately one river mile downstream from the Dutch Creek Bridge in Junction City,
between river miles 78.5 and 77.1. To facilitate project area access, restoration activities will involve heavy equipment and use of local roads, including Highway 299 and Red Hill Road. Once complete, the project will improve river access for recreation,
increase juvenile salmonid rearing habitat and enhance channel complexity in the Trinity River.</div>

The restoration effort will likely be broken into phases with activities beginning in 2024. Please note that recreational river access at the Junction City Campground may be intermittent during the Phase 2 construction period as improvements are made to the
put-in/take out location. The Phase 2 construction schedule is expected to occur during the 2025 construction season. Please contact us at 530-623-1800, or info@trrp.net for current information regarding access.

The start of summer in Trinity County has been a hot one, with 100° plus degrees for 10 days straight in early July combined with another series of 100° degree days forecasted for the latter half of the month. As warm-bodied land dwellers, we cope with heat
by seeking refuge: interior shelter, air conditioning, shade, and of course, water. Refreshing water comes in many forms – pools, sprinklers and creeks, lakes, and rivers – whatever is available to us! Cold-blooded salmon are not so different in this regard.
Throughout their various life stages, they too seek water temperatures that provide opportunity for success.

flowers are a haven for area pollinators and the plant itself plays a critical role in the majestic monarch butterfly migration. Interestingly, in our region, monarch butterflies, generally choose one type of milkweed to lay their eggs. Because of this, the
availability and frequency of the plant along the monarch’s migratory path are critical to it’s survival.

River study on thermal stratification in river pools. Pool stratification is an important ecological function of natural river systems and Todd’s findings show that pools in the Trinity River below Lewiston Dam are unable to stratify and provide critical habitat
for juvenile and adult salmonids. Todd will discuss why the habitat is important for both life stages of salmon as well as other interesting findings from the study.
