    SECOND IN A SERIESA LookBeneathheWaterA brief history of Steelhead rout in SantaRosa CreekSantaRosaCreek is rmonghe most well known steelheadstreamsin San Luis Obispo County. Historically, the creek had a large, self-sustainingpopulation of steelhead,but becauseof increasingdemandson water resources,and land use activities which have adversely af-fected instream habitat, the steelhead populationhas been severely reduced. California Department of Fish and

    Game (CDFG) recordsand studiesgoing back from the 1930's o asrecent as 1996 show steelheadpopulations n Santa Rosa Creekas being abundant in the upper watershed but increasinglyless plentiful in the lower reaches of the creek.In CDFG stream surveyfiles from the 1950's herearemany references about steel-head and their habitat. Forinstance, t[T]he opening ofthe summer rout seasonon IMay 1950 nclude he take ofmany l imi ts of juveni lesteelhead/ra inbow t rout ,abou t 12 . 5 -23 . 0 cm inlength" and "a[A] creelcensus conducted dur ingJanuary 1955 evealed hat anestimated 650 angler dayswere spent to catchover 600 steelhead aI Santa Rosa Creek."In the SantaRosaCreek Lagoon,now SantaRosaCreekNatural Pre-serve,steelhead ish populationson opening rout seasoq May 2, 1970,were estimatedo be 6,800. An estimated ,290uvenile steelhead,r 34%oof the lagoon populatioq were capturedduring the May 2 - August 31,1970season. There s now, of course,no summer steelheadrout fishingallowed on coastalstreamsor lagoors dwing the summer season.Sincesteelhead re now protected mder he EndangeredSpeciesAct it is onlypermissibleo fish for steelheadn SantaRosaCreekwestof HighwayOnefrom November 16ft through the end of February on Wednesday,Sahrday, Sunday, r legalholidays. Further, heseasons only 'catchandrelease'and only non-barbedhooks can be used. The remainingstream is closed to steelhead ishing all year. (Pleasecheck withlocal authorities, these regulations may change.)In the past few years the Cambria Community ServicesDistrict hasnot been able to divert water from two wells located adjacent o SantaRosaCreek n townbecauseofMtBE contamtnalion(seeelatedstory).This unfornrnate situation has an unseen benefit, however. The steel-headpopulation in the lower SantaRosaCreek basin is abundantwhencompared to earlier years when water f low was minimal.Our community is faced with some daunting tasks regardingwater extraction for human use and leaving adequatewater in ourcreeks for animal speciesprotected by state and federal laws.The current demand for water exceeds the resourceavailability. The newly established moratorium onbuilding is but one example of this resource deficit.Watershedplanning is becoming more critical with eachpassingyear. As our population grows the demand for finite resourceslike water grow. Agriculture users, urban dwellers, f ishand animalsi and a ho-stof plants rely on water produied inthe Santa Rosa Creek Watershed. Preparing for our future withwatershed planning is in everyone's best interest.
