First Fry

As spring sets in with roaring fog and migratory bird singing, we spotted the first fry in Corte Madera Del Presidio Creek. Chancing upon the pool of this years crop of Steelhead trout behind the Mill Valley Public Library certainly brightened our day. Between now and fall, when autumn rains move the eight-inch smolt down to Richardson Bay, we look forward to watching these fry grow and dash through the shallows in the shadows of the redwoods.
