This is the annual report for surveys conducted July 31 through August 8, 2001. Excerpt: "Year 2001 was the 21st consecutive summer steelhead trout survey of Redwood Creek, the first was 1981. One adult summer steelhead (steelhead >16.5 inches), six 'half-pounder' steelhead (smaller immature sea-run steelhead returning after less than one year in the ocean), and 170 coastal cutthroat trout (O. clarki) were observed in a mainstem survey reach. The one adult was observed immediately downstream of the index reach. The number of adult steelhead within the index reach has declined over time." The report contains locations of fish observed and two appendices: numbers of summer steelhead trout observed 1981 through 2001, and air and water temperature data.
