Ever wonder where the fish are? SMRCD is seen here working with California Trout and Trout Unlimited to set up a new fish tracking system that will teach us m...ore about the central coast populations of steelhead trout and coho salmon. The more we learn, the better we can help these species thrive well into the future! See more

A new app for California striped-bass anglers might help us better understand why bass numbers are declining and learn more about the relationship between the bass and native steelhead. https://bit.ly/2rTe1aU

TU and NOAA Fisheries Service have launched a project to better understand striped bass populations and behavior in central coast waters. You can help by fishing for them during the 2019-20 winter steelhead season!

TU is working with farmers, landowners, youth education programs, resource agencies and other partners between San Francisco and Santa Barbara to restore flows and habitat for the South-Central Coastal Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of California steelhead. We recently completed a major barrier removal project on Pennington Creek, a tributary to Chorro Creek and Morro Bay near San Luis Obispo. Almost immediately, juvenile steelhead were observed occupying the reach in and upstream of the project area. The resilience of these fish, due to their remarkable life history diversity, is nothing short of amazing.
