There's something fishy going on!
Lily Olmo, whose study as a Fisheries Biology Masters student of the fish in Klopp Lake and Brackish Pond inspired this new sign, came to visit. We celebrated its installation with Mark and Sydney Larson, who funded the project. Thank you all!
Check it out at the northeast corner of Klopp Lake, under the Monterey Pine. Don't forget to look for otters.

They evaluated the jumping abilities of juvenile steelhead trout to help identify the types of structures that could limit fish movement. The take home message? These little fish can really fly!
