Delta Beavers
Delta Beavers
Back in the day I used to see beavers cruising the surface in the early mornings quite often. I hardly see them at all anymore. Do the sea lions have a negative effect on beavers like they do big fish?
Re: Delta Beavers
I see beavers all the time, ive seen ones the size of a small bear before. I dont think their numbers have declined

Re: Delta Beavers
I see them all the time at the Delta too, but I dont think they are beavers or otters. They are called Nutria. They are pretty destructive to the levees because they burrow. Not sure they eat LM or striped bass though.
Between them and the GD seals in the Delta the entire Delta system is at risk from invasion by species that are not native to the area and are predators to the fish that normally live there. Seals are not damaging the levees but they are eating everything in sight - LM Bass, Stripped Bass, Salmon

Ive seen big ones too, I always figured if a sea lion wanted to take one out they are probably equipped to do so.DDG wrote:I see beavers all the time, ive seen ones the size of a small bear before. I dont think their numbers have declined

"The beaver's diet consists almost entirely of cellulose in the form of woody plant material. Woody plants are nearly indigestible to mammals. Digestion is aided by microorganisms inhabiting the small intestine. Beavers eat the leaves, bark and twigs of trees such as aspen, willow and red maple and a variety of herbaceous plants."
Beavers don't have any affect on fish.

Re: Delta Beavers
I was just curious if anyone has seen a dead beaver with a bite taken out of it?
Re: Delta Beavers
Ive seen a dead one....no bite though. I was thinking it was from when they sprayed and did the pellets last time in taylor slough. I see them occationally....had one scare the **** out of me night fishing on the dock, almost fell in.
Tail was min 24inlong by 10 or12" wide
