On Saturday, we spotted two blue flags marking coho redds upstream of the parking lot (towards Peters Dam). No fish we spotted on the first redd, but a female coho was seen digging out her redd at the second location. It was an amazing site to see after anxiously awaiting their arrival this spawning season! On Sunday, we returned to Leo T. Cronin and checked out both of the redds again upstream of the parking lot. On the first redd, we observed 2 jacks, 1 female and 1 male. The male and female were swimming back and forth alongside each other, while the jacks darted around. At the second redd further upstream, one female was spotted just barely moving right below the flagging. The redd was easy to identify as a lighter spot just above a fallen branch.

The coho salmon spawners have returned to the Lagunitas Watershed! Let's hope for more rain and more coho to start making their journey home! Hope to see you out on the creek!
