Chi Council for the Clear Lake Hitch

Massed Hitch on Adobe Creek
March 27, 2008

 

As part of the 1008 secondary (late March) spawning run, hitch gather at the mouth of Adobe creek, then form a loose spiral before moving upstream.

 

One school moves downstream after spawning, while another moves upstream. They meet . . . and swirl . . . before continuing.

 

A school of hitch moves under the bridge, some swirl briefly in apparent indecision . . . and then the school moves on

 

Mary Manning took these wonderful photographs -- and many more! Thanks so much for sharing!
