Angelo Coast Range Reserve

04 May, 05 AM - 05 May, 05 AM

The purpose of this trip is to replace stream baits set up on the previous trip April 13-14, 2004. We will be continuously replacing our stream baits at intervals of approximately 2-3 weeks. Specific sites at the Angelo Coast Range Reserve will be decided upon at our first trip (April 13-14, 2004). We will visit approximately three to six stream sites along a perennial stream course, most likely the south fork of the Eel River and/or its tributaries. There will be no disturbance to the reserve's ecosystem, no collecting, and no manipulative or destructive sampling. We will be placing inconspicuous mesh bags into the water with clean, disease-free Rhododendron leaves encased that will float on the water surface and be replaced approximately every two weeks to bait for Phytophthora species. The bags will be tied to a branch, tree trunk, or other available anchor to the side of streams with white nylon 3/16" solid braid rope (highly visible and easily removed). If stream flow is relatively fast the bags may be additionally anchored with a 1-pound fishing weight tied to 80 pound, white (highly visible) fishing line and placed in the flow to anchor the bag in place. These methods have been tested and are currently being used at many other sites throughout coastal California watercourses. All materials will be removed after completion of the study. We would like to stay at the reserve in available accommodations for one night. We will not require any additional resources from the reserve.
