Photos From Monitoring on Redwood Creek, South Fork Eel River
Updated May 26, 2020
I monitored Redwood Creek for the first time of the season on May 23, 2020. Southern Humboldt has recieved 31.0 inches of rain from October 1st, 2019 to May 23rd, 2020. The normal for this time period is 56.5 inches of rain. I noticed redds throughout the watershed. In the lower watershed, I saw older redds from either coho or chinook, that are usually washed away by now because of scouring flows. In the upper watershed, I noticed a fresh Pacific Lamprey redd, bunches of steelhead redds, and a small resident redd too.
