Mid and Upper Shore Updates

Couple updates for you-

Mid Shore: This Region is just hitting the initiation temps. Stream temp increases are being inhibited by remaining snow-pack and melt along the Mid Shore, but flows are increasing for the same reason. Ignore the catch trend for anything after the 8th, we are waiting for the latest creel reports which are not reflected in the data below:


Upper Shore: Looks good right? Not so fast my steelheading friends.... Our only Index Stream with a temperature package is really small, consequently it usually hits initiation temps 7-10 days prior to the bulk of the Upper Shore steelhead streams. Basically you can't use it to gauge wider conditions, but it still is a great resource. Here too, stream temp increases are being inhibited by remaining snow-pack and melt along the Upper Shore, but flows are increasing for the same reason. Ignore the catch trend for anything after the 10th, we are waiting for the latest creel reports which are not reflected in the data below:


Overall, we are finally there. It's been a really strange pre-run, we'll have more analysis once we release the 2016 Creel Project results in early June. For now, get out there! We are getting some crazy reports from both Lower and Mid Shore.

As always, we appreciate you submitting any and all Creel Project Reports. You and submit Creel Reports HERE

And don't forget about the Steelhead Genetics Project. For more information, contact Nick Peterson at (218) 302-3272 or by e-mail: Nick Peterson
