California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) began planting coho salmon from Olema Creek into Walker Creek in 2003 with modest success. [14] In 2008 and again in 2013 coho returned to Walker Creek, Salmon Creek and Frink Canyon. [15] Fishing for steelhead is open only below Highway 1.
Steelhead trout fingerlings swim in a raceway pond at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Feather River Hatchery after climbing a fish ladder just below the Lake Oroville dam ...
Three adult steelhead were sighted five years ago in the Santa Clara River that flows between Santa Clarita and Oxnard, Marlow adds. Only 177 Southern California steelhead have been seen in the ...
The on-channel percolation ponds constructed on Coyote Creek severely degrade steelhead habitat by harboring non-native fish predators, such as largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) which prey on salmonid fingerlings, and also by releasing warm water flows. Moving Ogier Ponds and Metcalf Percolation Ponds off-channel would significantly ...

[11] According to CEMAR's San Francisco Estuary Watersheds Evaluation of 2007, only 5.1 miles (8.2 km) of the watershed's total 22.22 miles (35.76 km) of stream channel is suitable and available to steelhead.

Prior to the completion of Cachuma Dam in 1953, the steelhead run on the Santa Ynez River was estimated to be as high as 25,000 adults. [16] Three decades earlier, in 1920, the Gibraltar Dam was built and blocked access to spawning in the upper watershed, so early twentieth century steelhead runs were likely much higher still. [ 15 ]
