| Notes | Studied cutthroat trout in Camp Creek, a tributary of Mill Creek, a tributary of the Umpqua River, from June, 1999 - August, 2000. A variety of techniques to monitor fish movement were employed, including fin-clipping, PIT-tagging, and radio-tagging. While some fish moved long distances within the basin, few left the basin. Fish occupying large, deep pools or reaches with higher gradients moved less often. Males and larger fish moved the furthest. Active night feeding was observed. From February - May, 2000, some trout were resident in "ephemeral tributaries" that did not have water flowing during drier parts of the year. This points out the importance of ephemeral tributaries as fish habitat and the need to maintain a network of stream connections. |
