For the south coast region the fishery biologist is Dr Dwayne Maxwell. As of this time lakes, casitas, cachuma, piru, and castaic( upper and lower), are in trouble. They all have access to waters which are known habitat to southern california steelhead.

Dr Maxwell is awaiting decision from the dfg director on how to proceed with these bodies of water. If mitigation is required here dr Maxwell proposes the stocking of steril trouts in these waters.

Problem here is they have to deal with NOAA. Very scary times! He said not to expect a quick resolution to this. If stocking never resumes we are looking at the destruction of two of the greatest trophy fisheries ever.

Dr Maxwell can be reached at the following 562 342 7152.

I also encourage everyone to submit. Well written email to dfg director

thanks rob I will do whatever is necessary to stop this
