In 1942 two trappers took 187 muskrats along the Sacramento River near Anderson. Another trapper reported taking three musk- rats on the river just north of Redding. Farther up the Sacramento a trapper took nine muskrats at Elmore. As stated above, muskrats have been reported as far up as Dunsmuir, but the habitat is poor here and no sign of them could be found by the writers in 1940. We have also been unable to locate muskrat sign on the Sacramento River near Red Bluff, Los Molinos and Fig. 25. Muskrat house in Tu!e Liake, Siskiyou County, California. SISKIYOU COUNTY Tule Lake.
