September is the season for giving trout a helping hand!

Watch this short video from 2011 at Polyrock Ranch showing how we pump water around the work site, rescue the fish from that segment, and then see the stream flowing back through a much larger culvert that will accommodate stream flow and fish alike! Late summer is fish passage barrier replacement time for the Long Tom Watershed Council. Each year, LTWC replaces culverts and other barriers that prevent native fish such as cutthroat trout and other aquatic species from moving upstream to quality habitat they need.
