SUMMARY:2025 Eel River Pikeminnow Fishing Derby

Sacramento pikeminnow are piscivorous (eat other fish) and have been found to consume native salmonids and lamprey among other fishes in the Eel River. On top of the many stressors affecting the Eel River such as drought\, habitat availability\, and other climate change impacts pikeminnow can have a significant effect on native fish populations. Therefore\, research on Sacramento pikeminnow in the Eel River can help managers aid in the conservation of our native fishes. \nHow You Can Participate: \nTo enter into the contest you must provide a valid (google) email address and upload a photo of your fish.
