The Chub Are Back in the Arroyo

The Arroyo Chub, a native species that once thrived in the Arroyo Seco, has returned. Three hundred of the small fish have been planted in the natural stream areas of Pasadena's Central Arroyoo stream below Devil's Gate Dam and just above the Colorado Street Bridge.

"This is a momentous development and a key milestone in our campaign to restore the natural attributes and functions of the Arroyo Seco," said Tim Brick, Managing Director of the Arroyo Seco Foundation. The fish restoration came as part of the Central Arroyo Stream Restoration Program recently completed by ASF and the City of Pasadena. The project included water quality islands in Brookside Park parking lot, trail improvements, and backwater pools and improved habitat for the fish. On Wednesday, August 27 more than one hundred local residents got together to celebrate.
