“BELIEVE IT OR NOT” This photograph depicts one of the last steelhead trout caught in the LA River, near Glendale in January 1940. Believe it or not, the was once a crucial waterway for seafaring trout to make their way upstream to spawn in tranquil and limpid mountain streams. Concretization spelled the end of that life cycle for these majestic fish. But all hope is not lost- there are still very small populations of steelhead in our mountainous headwaters, shut off from reaching the ocean. Even more exciting, work is underway now to develop a Fish Passage to encourage trout to follow the LA River from Long Beach to a diversionary path and up to their ancestral spawning grounds. Tune into our friends and who are spearheading the steelhead recovery.
