Irony and greatness often go hand in hand and Monday was no exception on San Geronimo and Lagunitas Creeks. Sunday provided a beautiful set of 5 fish at Castro Pools that made for exciting tours (with small numbers :) of course) and made it obvious how well the naturalists and guides communicate. Monday, with great confidence, no less, I was scouting for a morning tour and the 5 fish....GONE!....sad face. I thought, this is OK, there are bound to be some of our Coho friends somewhere, right? Not right. I ran this group of amazing women all over searching for fish with no luck but having the most wonderful time. We check one last time at Castro on our way out and run into not only several friends but a line of cars belonging to a camera crew following one of our renowned valley scientist friends. They had been searching too! There are so many now interested in looking for the Coho now that the numbers are dwindling for the season; a bit like what happens once a species is extinct I dare to note, everyone becomes interested. The beauty of this story is that the crew found their fish at no other location but SPAWN headquarters provided by our own Andy Harris. Hip Hip Hurray for Andy! I love beautiful endings, don't you?
