Dry Creek Salmon Survey

Other important information:

We will meet in the back of the parking lot of the Regal UA Olympus Pointe Movie Theatre in Roseville (aka Miner’s Ravine Trailhead).

- Untrained volunteers will be placed into a group with a trained volunteer. Groups will walk/wade upstream along a section of the Dry Creek watershed, roughly 1-2 miles each. Our survey protocol is attached, which we will go over the morning of the survey.

- Volunteers should have their own waders (chest-high), although we do have loaners available upon pre-request. Young people, ages 13 to 17, are welcome but must be accompanied by a legal guardian and all volunteers will need to sign a waiver form.

- We expect to receive roughly an inch of rain over the next week. Typically, larger numbers of salmon are observed in Dry Creek after at least a 2-inch rainstorm. Therefore, there is a chance that we may not see many, or even any salmon. However, we have a report of a single salmon being observed in another nearby creek, so hopefully we do see some!

- If we do see salmon in the creek we will plan additional surveys on following Saturdays, but if we don’t, then we will hold off until additional rains.
