Fishery Update October 2024  
Maleia Good, PWSD, shared the most recent fishery update with the RAB.  
Aqua Sierra was out this week. As soon as they send a synopsis Maleia will be sending  
out to the RAB. This will be sent out ahead of the End of the Year report that will be  
coming out late by the end of 2024. Once the data is analyzed the RAB can make  
decisions for updates to the fishing regulations.  
The rocks for the fishery habitat have been delivered to RHR and Aqua Sierra will be  
coming to help with placement. PWSD and the County will split the cost of the delivery  
of the rock.  
Water testing invoices for 2024 will be received this next week and will be paid out of  
the funds for 2024.
