2018 was a tough year for Butte Creek and the spring run salmon. Less than 2000 fish were estimated to have spawned successfully. The Camp Fire broke out just as salmon were emerging from the gravel. Massive efforts to protect the creek from toxic runoff most likely helped usher the juveniles out of the canyon and on to the ocean. Now we are seeing the adults return, and return they are. Record numbers have been seen everywhere in the system, from Colusa to the upper reaches above Centerville. We will keep you posted! Follow the Facebook page.
