FREE BAIT! dead Anchovies in Redondo Beach

Still no answers to why all these Anchovies showed up dead in a harbor Tuesday morning. DFG so far believes they died of oxygen deprivation, somehow they came into the marina and couldn't get out depleting all the oxygen and died. This may bee true but personally I believe there would be other species of dead fish. Watch the video from KTLA Sky 5

Name that fish?

Here it is a little something to help you all waste some time. Guess what it is. No it is not something you can catch in one of the southern California lakes where they plant lightning trout this is the real deal no genetic modifications here. Just click on the comment link and tell us what it is. Comment here

Salmon spawning above folsom lake.

Did you know Chinook Salmon haven't been planted in Folsom since 2006. Back in 1997 DFG introduced Chinook salmon from the Nimbus hatchery just down stream to help create another fishing opportunity in Folsom lake. The fingerling salmon quickly grew at a rate of 1 inch per month and it turned into a great fishing experience for many people. In 2006 the program was stopped due to diseases in the fish from the lake causing the hatchery problems down stream. Several studies have been done on the south fork of the American and a good number of 20 inch range Chinooks have been found spawning in the river. There is still a decent amount of the salmon in Folsom lake. You can catch 12"-14" fish to this day that didn't come from any hatchery they are American river landlocked Chinook salmon. DFG and fish biologist are very happy with this as it shows if native salmon and steelhead were once again introduced into the upper American river above Folsom there is a good chance it would be a success. Also on the Yuba River there is studies being done with hopes of returning native salmon and steelhead above Englebright reservoir. The south yuba river citizens league is fighting hard to reintroduce these fish to the yuba.

Who gives a dam Englebright Lake

We give a dam and hope the Army corps of engineers and the government do whats needed. Listed in the Army Corps of engineers budget for 2012 is $100,000.00 of funding to study fish passages around Englebright and Daguerre Point dams on the lower Yuba river. The South and middle fork of the Yuba river could have returning runs of Steelhead trout and Chinook salmon if done correctly.
