Living With the Methow River Monthly Activities and Learning Opportunities March 2014 Salmon, steelhead, and trout build nests called redds in the beds of our local creeks and rivers. Redds often appear as "clean" areas in the gravel. Click through the pictures below to see if you can spot the redds. When do the fish spawn?
How do the fish spawn? Check out this video from the Yakama Nation Fisheries! What should you do if you find a salmon redd? Don't disturb it! If you must cross the river or stream, walk downstream of the redd to prevent the mud your feet kick up from settling around the developing eggs. Follow the Fish below for more information about salmon redds.
This year’s MRC calendar connects to ADVENTURES, ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION tailored to each month. If you haven't gotten your calendar yet, you can download an electronic version here. Come back each month and find interactive activities, print outs, and suggested learning opportunities in our community.
Just follow the fish and engage in learning.
