Rain in the winter of 1943 began late, but the Santa Ynez River had some of the largest steelhead runs and highest fishing success in modern memory (Santa Barbara News-Press 1943d). During World War II, mihtary officials from Camp Cooke restricted access to the lagoon (Los Angeles Times 194Id), but later opened the area to angling with a permit from the base's provost marshal (Los Angeles Times 1945a, 1945b, 1947c, 1952b). However, in early winter beachgoers reported seeing steelhead in the ocean outside the sandbar in "immense numbers" and the lagoon became "alive with steelhead" by late January, after rains had begun and the lagoon sandbar had breached (Santa Barbara News-Press 1943b, 1943c). During the second half of February, after peak flows diminished and turbidity declined, fishing success improved and several large catches were reported, including fish up to thirty inches in length. On February 27, one fisherman reported "thousands offish in the stream" (Santa Barbara News-Press 1943e). Shapovalov observed steelhead conditions in the Santa Ynez River during the 1930s and 1940s. He witnessed years of varying steelhead abundance, and by the mid-1940s he was in a position to assess the Santa Ynez River's fishery. In a series of reports, he concluded that, before the construction of Gibraltar Dam in 1920, steelhead h
