If I remember there is sqauwfish in that river. Catch & kill them!
I have killed quite a few . One day I was stomping on a large squawfish and felt pretty bad for taking a life like that though so I am conflicted about it. The main problem with the eel was the poor logging practices coupled with the 1964 flood. The problem now is habitat degradation due to marijuana growers and an overpopulation of pinnipeds . It is such a pretty stream.


I saw an entire school of them hanging in a riffle when I was there about 20 years ago. If I knew then what I know now I would of cleaned it up.
