What is the Yuba Salmon Study?
The Yuba Salmon Study is a collaborative planning and implementation program led by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries and California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW). The vision of this project is to reintroduce spring-run Chinook salmon to their historical habitat in the upper Yuba River watershed through a phased, science-based, and cost-effective reintroduction project that will inform future Central Valley reintroduction decisions. In support of this effort, two rotary screw traps (RSTs) have been installed on the North Yuba River, one at Rocky Rest Campground at RM 25.6 and the other along Old Toll Bridge Road at RM 33.6 from October 2023 to May 2024.

What is a Rotary Screw Trap?
A Rotary Screw Trap — or RST — is a specialized fish trap that uses a spinning cone and live box to collect salmonids as they migrate downstream.
