Swimming with Salmon and Steelhead

Thanks to a 2006 grant from the Napa County Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Napa County Resource Conservation District (RCD) was able to purchase a digital camcorder, video editing software, and an underwater housing unit to film local fishes for educational and monitoring purposes. In winter 2006, RCD Senior Biologist Jonathan Koehler tested the camera and captured spectacular underwater photos and video footage of several species of fish, including steelhead trout and Chinook salmon, in the Napa River and its tributaries.

With funds provided by the Conservation Division of the Napa County Conservation, Development and Planning Department, RCD Education Coordinator Jenny McIlvaine edited the footage to create these two 4-minute films, Swimming with Salmon and Swimming with Steelhead.

Web-enabled video clips of the footage are provided below. For free high resolution copies of the videos, contact the Napa County Resource Conservation District at (707) 252-4188.
