3 Frisky Fry rose to snow berries ... sediment from 3 weeks ago SEEMS not a factor in health of fish:)
Same note as Art's riffle >> low flow took several days to clear >> no dead fish seen
active fry in 'S' curve riffle pool ... also frisky in pool below Bob's bridge
frisky fry 'hit' the buttercup/blackberry 'flower balls' in both upstream & downstream pools.
frisky fry upstream of bridge w/ caterpillar test 'bait'
2 separate walking couples stopped to talk/ interest in my activity AND pleased to observe & hear the positive results of caring for the Creek.
consistent brownish turbidity
two trees (fir & alder) blown down away from creekside caused by high winds with wetter ground.
Increased flow makes it difficult to observe any possible spawning salmon >>> this 'Run' is probably over.
Nice to see this 2nd set of spawners this week. The Nov.3rd sightings have 'aged' w/ fungi etc. and not to be seen.
