What's A Redd?
Trout are gravel nest spawners. Females excavate a nest, called a redd, where they deposit eggs. These eggs are fertilized by one or more male trout and then covered by gravel. Counting the number and distribution of redds over time provides data on the health of our streams. TCTU has decided to begin collecting redd data on the trout streams in our service area, data that we can share with the DNR, other agencies and anyone that is interested.
What Will We Be Doing?
- Doing TCTU's 1st ever redd survey
- We will be walking the stream (about 1.8 miles) searching for and documenting redds
- We hope to have a total of 9 volunteers
The Plan
- Meet at the start time at the parking lot of the AMA (see map).
- We will break out into teams, and walk sections of the river searching for and documenting redds.
What You Should Bring
- Clothes appropriate for the weather!
- Chest waders as some of you will have to cross the streamWater!
If you have any questions, please contact Jim Sauter at (715) 210-0710 or jim.sauter@twincitiestu.org.
