Prairie Creek salmon restoration, 1992-1993 season
Farro M. 1993. Prairie Creek salmon restoration, 1992-1993 season. Pacific Coast Fish, Wildlife & Wetlands Restoration Association
Following introduction of excess sediment to Prairie Creek from a storm during road construction, salmon were captured for spawning. The Trinidad Fishermen's Association operated the trap and weir, as well as rearing sites. The association also maintained control of fish for Redwood National Park studies with artificial redds in Prairie Creek, and trapped downstream migrant smolts produced by naturally spawning salmon. The 1992-1993 season was one of the best in recent years for salmon in Prairie Creek and other coastal streams due to good flow and weather conditions for migration and spawning. Report includes fish planting information, trapping results, spawning records, and graphs (release length frequencies, numbers of downstream migrants, and fork lengths during spring and summer 1993).
