Bull Trout Are Now Spawning - Be Aware Of Redds


Recommended Posts

The Bull Trout are now gearing up for their spawning season, keep a very sharp eye out for Redds and especially spawning fish in our streams and rivers. A redd is a spawning nest swept out by female fish and "usually" is visible a a lighter area of stream bottom (but not always) where the regular structure has been removed.

 

As you wade keep an eye out for these, they will often contain eggs or spawning/staging fish in the vicinity. Be cautious not to disturb these sites or spawning fish. The Bull Trout are more aggressive protecting their nesting areas. Please exercise care.

 

On your travels out there in the back country keep the Report-a-poacher number handy (1-800-642-3800).

Please act as a warden of our waters.

 

Thanks
