Installed fyke net and trap box at the Hallwood Restoration Site, lower Yuba River
Initial results from monitoring experiments completed by Cramer Fish Sciences fisheries biologists are available! Key findings:
- Non-native predatory fish (largemouth bass and sunfish) have been observed within the large backwater pool at the lower end of the Project reach.
