 upon them almost immediately. 



The fish were transported in a truck in the usual manner, the

WATER STORAGE IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY 



In the near future, six large dams will be constructed in the 

 Santa Clara Valley Water Conservation District. The Coyote Creek 

 dam will be 100 feet high with a reservoir capacity of 30,000 acre-feet. 

 The others on Almaden, Calero, Guadalupe, Los Gatos and Stevens 

 creeks are said to range from 21 to 115 feet in height and have a com-

 Santa Clara Valley. 



It is presumed that fishing conditions in the region will not be 

 greatly altered. Although the reservoirs do not give promise to addi-
