Tryon Creek Restoration Monitoring Project.

U.S Fish & Wildlife fish surveys in Tryon Creek Park indicate that years of effort to restore the watershed to natural health are paying off. Numerous trout and steelhead were found. Most gratifying was the identification of 3 juvenile coastal Coho, a threatened salmon species. See the full report at the USFWS website.
