I spent alot of time on the Eel River as a kid. Caught my first fish just out side Ferndale. Great to see its being protected and restored 👏

Hi my names James, and I first would like to thank your team for your hard work on restoring our Northern Californian Rivers. Secondly I'm currently going to a C.C working to get my Major in Natural Resource management so I can to help Restore and Preserve our water ways and forests so that our wildlife can prosper here in the North West.

Instream cover and structure is often overlooked. Woody debris, rock shelves, boulders, vegetative cover, willows, and other riparian species which provide juvenile fish and many other species the leaf material, woody debris, and other process-related aspects of the underwater component that of course is seasonally variable. Zero=level flow is great component of any basin area where beavers and dam builders like to put dams and acts for a nutrient/silt delivery system for the riparian habitat to maintain and restrict some water flow. Compaction from human caused forces may need to assessed for compaction issues in relation to historical or ancestral knowledge.

Restoration of habitat and recovery processes demand community commitments and access to return deep holes, side channel habitat, Salt River, and compaction or long-term bedloads which may need continued dredging and deepening of historical depths and water tables which in turn facilitate insect production, Stoneflies, Mayflies, etc., which in turn feed crayfish, amphibians, and other producers of the vital web-of-life that comes from ponds, seeps, and adjacent riparian habitat types from a stream and terrestrial perspective. The beaver, and essential component of marsh, wetlands, canals, and various engineering feats of their habitations! Great work to strive for!

Best of luck to your effort. I was out there in May camping and catching rainbows. Very pretty country.

no resident rainbows in the eel river, they were Juvenile steelhead migrating downstream, hopefully you released them since their illegal to target anyway.

A Categorical reminder should be the banks with escape and deep riverine or aquatic hiding place, such as a very large root wad(s) of an overhanging species, a natural bank or excavation on the edge of the aforementioned habitat, natural caves or bank channel features, perilous eddies of waterfalls, and other twisted riverine physiology associated with natural outlying and underlying strata that could be fashionable for a beaver family of survivors that still might favor common muskrats in the outlying habitat.

My best friend dads uncle chuck team owns 360 acres of land so we stay on this little place by his river and he has like acres of the eel river. So we stay there for a week in the summer. We all go in the water and go to a rope swing. It’s so fun. So yeah I’m driving back from there nos

Instream stream habitat complexity is greatly enhanced and dynamic with large woody debris, boulders, beavers activities, and seasonal water flows and bedload movement help to provide deeper holes and cold water refugia for cold water species which suffer when water temps exceed around 23 C. Refugia are deeper holes and freshets where High oxygen content and cold temps remain stable and fish diseases may compromise the ecosystem. Dredging and other techniques to establish historical levels of most productive the record channel, depths, and other relevant info all detail the Estuarine Habitat that made this one of the States River Fisheries. Tidal variants of course crucial as the Lunar Cycle!

I was on the south fork of the eel in the summer fishing for stream resident rainbows. It was only 1 foot deep in places, and no water at all in others. Didnt catch any fish ( I only saw 1-3 inch fish.

Historical conditions and Native American Accounts from the Wiyot and other Traditional Teachers provided the knowledge, prayers, and guidance to live in Harmony with this Area and can assist n supporting a healthy estuarine habitat for rearing juvenile Salmonids, riparian insects and food chains and nutrient cycles the reinforce the interdependence of life and habitat that I personally know went well up the Eel with salt water intrusion. The beaver is a component and engineer of wetland and march habitat ecosystem for Coho and other side-channel, backwater, marsh, and other Riparian habitat processes that facilitate water conserved in the water table for reproduction sites where freshwater is required for various life stages and seasonal patterns. Historically the Estuary, or saltwater intrusion, was known at least to current Ferndale area (Salt River). Thanks insects, amphibians, crayfish, and Mollusks all also join in the ecological Riparian Zone.

@PewGoBoomLife4 жыл бұрын
Numbers are still an issue. Fact is Dams are not natural and do cut off spawning grounds for these fish. Water is also being diverted for people and farmers. CA keeps building homes and inviting more to come. Then go off building more farms. All of this requires water. One day it will get so f**king messed up that these rivers will be done for. Think of the bigger picture bud! 🤦🏻♂️🤯

@@PewGoBoomLife look south, in california every river from bakersfield to merced is bone dry all year every year all the of the rivers in this region carry zero water into the san joaquin river ever, I am talking about the south part of the san joaquin valley, the north part of this same valley is called the sacramento valley where there are still some water flowing into that watershed but since every river in california sans a few are dammed then yes we have a problem, are you blind or just a farmer?
