The beginning of fall brought a healthy count of 25 cutthroat trout in Bee Creek. Starting close to the mouth with only one or two fish, ten fish were recorded in site three, ranging in size from 50 to 125 millimetres.

It was noted that the majority of trout recorded were over two years old and it was the second month in a row that confirmed that the cutthroat in Bee Creek were active.

Of particular interest was site seven, which is a large deep pool and which has not, to date attracted many trout recorded four healthy fish. The pool has dropped in depth for several months leading to concern that there may be either a blockage of the creek upstream of the site or due to dry weather this summer, a drop in the amount of ground water in the aquifers feeding the creek.

Water temperature in the creek has dropped to between 11 and 12 degrees, a mere two dgrees since the summer months.
