An urgent and important message, distributed on behalf of Robinson Rancheria Pomo Indians.
Lake County, CA (February 3, 2023) – Robinson Rancheria has received California Department of Fish and Wildlife funding to complete a feasibility study on carp and goldfish removal. Fishing boats with 1,000-foot seine nets will be deployed throughout identified locations around Clear Lake (see attached map), to support future capture and removal of carp and goldfish. This important effort begins today, February 3.
Multiple deployments will be conducted in areas throughout Clear Lake where radio tagged carp have been detected. All areas where net deployment and successful capture is documented will be mapped as future potential netting areas for carp and goldfish removal.
Partners involved in the CDFW-funded feasibility study include WSB (project contractor, https://m.facebook.com/100064150442993/), CDFW, Big Valley Rancheria (Clear Lake Water Quality), and Lake County Water Resources Department. Marine Patrol has been notified and made aware of the feasibility study and identified locations.
