Project Description

The Pauma Creek rainbow trout have a direct route to the ocean but are blocked by a total fish passage barrier at Highway 76 crossing the Pauma Creek tributary to the San Luis Rey River. The San Luis Rey is a high priority steelhead recovery river and has the most southern native rainbow trout population of steelhead lineage in the United States. Their re-connection with the ocean is a feasible design and implementation project on a state highway bridge being pursued by Caltrans. Due to the critically low numbers of steelhead in Southern California, and the contribution that resident rainbows can make to anadromy, the Pauma Creek and WF San Luis Rey trout populations are critical resources for steelhead recovery.
