It was an exciting day helping Cheri Scalf with the smolt trap on Snow Creek. We had the opportunity to climb into the holding tank and net smolts to be analyzed. With instruction from Sheri we counted, sized and took scale samples of coho, cutthroat, and steelhead. The fish were then released back to the Creek. The monitoring at the Snow Creek trap has been the most long-running and consistent data collection in the area. It was great to help Cheri and contribute to this legacy.
