Prairie Creek hatchery notes
Van Kirk S. 1996. Prairie Creek hatchery notes
These notes consist of excerpts of historical information about Prairie Creek and the fish hatchery on that stream, as well as some references to Redwood Creek and its fishery resources. Sources are the Prairie Creek Hatchery annual reports (1926-1956) and California Fish and Game (1927-1952), the quarterly publication of that department. The attached author's letter notes that the choice of Prairie Creek for a hatchery indicates a superior supply of cutthroat trout eggs in the stream at that time. Also, 'Redwood Creek was a significant producer of coho salmon, as you can see by the numbers.' The July 1952 excerpt from California Fish and Game mentions the existence of many silver salmon in Redwood Creek, and of very deep pools used by these fish.
