Species Rediscovered!

Steve Burns, President of the Big Santa Anita Canyon Permitees' Association, semi-professional photographer, and amatuer ichthyologist, has made an amazing discovery. While walking along the Upper Winter Creek Trail toward Chantry, he spotted a fish in Santa Oline Creek that was thought to be extinct: the Cherry-Red Trail Trout. This one is native, unlike the Orange and Lime stocked in the main canyon. Dare we suggest that there may still be a Grape left in the East Fork? One can only hope.
