Spring Rescue
May 23,2013. Monterey ,California. It has been a while since I last participated in
a heartpounding rescue of Steelheads trapped within an almost unhabitable pool of water
within the Carmel river. Specifically beneath the Millorca bridge.
It was around Four in the afternoon of May 19, 2013 that we heard about an emergency
call from a CRSA member who was patrolling with a federal warden along the river that day. They
spotted at least Two pieces of an adult Steelhead measuring approximately 32 inches
long. The species were actually dead lying at the riverbank near the rescue site.
Where at least six adult Steelheads more were nearly endanger of surviving if not rescued
immediately.
With the help of Brian Leneve,Roy Thomas,Roy Torres (federal warden) Frank Emerson and me,
right away we started to rescue the remaining Six adult Steelheads measuring approximately
from 22 inches to 32 inches long. All Six were rescued within a Two and a half hours elapsed
time. The species were finally released at the ocean facing the Carmel beach at around
Six Thirty in the evening of the same date.
Thank you for now.Till your next visit.
