News From Big Bend Pool
In 1992, poachers dynamited the Big Bend Pool on Steamboat Creek, killing many fish on the river’s most important spawning tributary, and threatening the long-term viability of the river’s wild fish stock. The Foundation led an effort to raise a reward to lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. and acquired high-tech monitoring equipment to help catch and successfully prosecute poachers. Each year since 1992, the Foundation has funded a guardian to stay at the pool from May until the end of November.
