  • Ventura County

    Ventura County

    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Ventura County Rincon Rincon Creek consists of about 9.7 stream miles. It flows southwest, entering the Pacific Ocean at Rincon Point. The culvert at the Highway 101 crossing is a total passage barrier (Stoecker et al. 2002). A watershed plan prepared for Rincon Creek includes a review of historical steelhead information. The review notes O. mykiss stocking occurred in the 1940s and subsequently. Anecdotal accounts of trout observations from the 1950s to the 1980s also are included (Tetra Tech 2007; Stoecker et al. 2002). Rincon Creek was surveyed in 1993 and no fish were observed. The survey report states, “Sediment inputs from Casitas Creek are destroying downstream habitat” (Unknown 1993). A 1994 DFG memo relayed the results of surveys from that year. The memo states, “The Wheeler Fire [in 1985] could have been the event that eradicated rainbow trout from Rincon Creek, although there is anecdotal information from a landowner along Rincon Creek that suggests that the population was extirpated as early as the 1960’s” (DFG 1994a). The memo adds, “It appears that the Highway 101 culvert has prevented the recolonization of rainbow trout/steelhead in Rincon Creek” (DFG 1994a). Consultants surveyed Rincon Creek as part of a steelhead study, and observed O. mykiss likely representing one year class in 2001 (Stoecker et al. 2002). A 2002 memo from NMFS staff states, “Rincon Creek provides approximately 4 miles of steelhead spawning and rearing habitat…” (NMFS 2002a). A 2002 study report notes water quality impacts on Rincon Creek from the large sediment load carried by Casitas Creek, a tributary (Stoecker et al.
