Summer heat waves impose serious stress and can even cause death. Trout and salmon that are already heat-stressed may not recover a�er being caught and released. You can help these fish survive the summer by following a few simple tips (PDF). Don’t move rocks in streams Now that summer’s officially here it's important to understand the detrimental impact building rock Gmail - Ulysses Updates for 7/7/23 https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=a448223915&view=pt&search=a... 2 of 4 10/4/2023, 3:43 PM dams with the intent of crea�ng swimming holes can have on trout streams. Trout are sensi�ve, cold-water fish that require cold, clean water to survive. Water temperatures warmer than 68°F can put extreme stress on trout and temperatures approaching 75°F can even be lethal. Rock dams... �Alter the natural flow of the stream by slowing down or trapping the water, allowing it to warm up faster. �Prevent the migra�on of trout to colder headwaters where they can seek thermal refuge in the warm summer months, as well as spawning habitat in the spring and fall. �Prevent upstream and downstream movement of animals, such as aqua�c insects- a major diet item for trout. �Weaken the stream bank, increasing erosion and sedimenta�on into the stream, further altering its natural flow. So, this summer if your favorite swimming hole is drying up, think about the trout that live there. Instead of building a rock dam, maybe go for a walk downstream and find a natural pool to cool off in.
