June 29 Tioga Pass - sunny afternoon but strong cool breeze.
Sky clouded up eastern 1/2 of sky late afternoon.
Collected '9' adults, recently laid eggs, and a series
of "yearling" trout at the pond edge. Single C-60
trapped adult -> recovered on surface, first detected
with scintillometer, then seen. Other marked crawdad
(no radioactive tag) recovered - see B. Currie's
account. Heavy melt-off in meadow.
Left Tioga 6 P.M. supper briefing, than north
via U.S. 395 to Bridgeman. Drove north past
Sierra Pass road (State 8 & 395) junction its
relatively new State Hwy 89 westward past Heaton Lake
to State No. 4. Glenn to Woodfords. Information
County Road maintenance station, 3/4 mi. south
of Woodfords, as to accessibility of road between
Lower and Upper Blue Lakes. Foreman reported it
took about 2 weeks instead of usual 4-5 days
to get road open to Lower Blue Lake. Heavy rains
caused icing of snow piles. We drove State No. 88
SW to Blue Lakes Road. First stop Faith
Valley, 7500 ft., a locality where I collected
broods larvae a year ago. More found this time.
Bero muscosa adults (2) collected. Clusters of
eyes (to re-emerge stage) in slow streams.
Next stop at woods side pond Christy Valley, 7700
ft - Bero's trouts more abundant than I've ever
seen them, breaking edge of small pools and
larger pond. Hydra regilla adults collected streamside
