<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div>Sorry for the delayed report. It took me a few days to recover a corrupt data file.</div><div><br></div><div>It has been great to get some rain this fall! Activity is picking up and our crews are still reporting many active fish out there. Last week (October 27-30) we mapped 553 redds and 859 carcasses in the reaches from Lewiston Dam to Pigeon Point, and Big Bar to Cedar Flat. <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The figure below is clipped from the latest weekly spawn survey update available now on the Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office fisheries webpage.</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><a href="http://www.fws.gov/arcata/fisheries" target="_blank">http://www.fws.gov/arcata/fisheries</a></div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_1497d4d0bd7d7a9d" alt="Inline image 1" width="540" height="371"> <br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:windowtext">Did you know</span></b><span style="color:windowtext">….

even seen limited use for conducting aerial surveys for spawning salmon in the
Snake River Basin, though future use is in the hands of the Federal Aviation
Administration (see story links below). Maybe
someday drones will help quantify salmon spawning in portions of the Klamath basin. For now, I’m glad that monitoring Trinity
River salmon requires immersion in the awesome beauty of the Trinity River!</span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:windowtext">Idaho Power uses drones to find salmon in the Snake
