Seafood is abundant off the San Luis Obispo coastl

Seafood is abundant off the San Luis Obispo coastline, but it may come as a surprise that the creeks used to teem with steelhead trout too. Sadly, the local population of this fish species was federally listed as threatened in 1997 due to their diminishing numbers.

A page in Robert A. Brown’s The Story of the Arroyo Grande Creek describes how “… steelhead would fill the creek as they propelled their great silvery bodies inland.” That was a time when as many as 20,000 steelhead were returning to Central Coast streams, estimates Don Baldwin, a California Department of Fish and Wildlife Environmental Scientist for Steelhead Habitat and Population Assessment in San Luis Obispo County. “Today, there are less than 500,” Don says.

It’s easy to lump steelhead in with other species and assume that the population crashed because of overfishing. But steelhead’s demise in the county came from other human activity. That’s because this trout is a unique type of fish.

Technically, steelhead trout and rainbow trout are the same species, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Both spawn in freshwater. But, while rainbow remain inland after they hatch, steelhead make their way to the ocean before returning to their spawning grounds. It’s a trait they share with salmon, making them both anadromous fish.

Human activity on the Central Coast has interrupted that journey. John Piatti Jr. remembers catching steelhead well into the 1980s, but he knew then that the population was already compromised.

Though securing and maintaining funds for research and restoration is always a challenge, some significant efforts are being made to protect the county’s steelhead and its habitat. Projects include removing physical barriers to migration, harvesting rainwater to maintain water levels and improving riparian corridors.

“The loss of steelhead may not directly affect other species, but would show a collapse of the ecosystem,” Don explains.

Upon their escape from the war-torn Cherbourg regi

Upon their escape from the war-torn Cherbourg region of France in the 1870s, the ancestors of Curt Dubost immigrated to Hawaii then South Dakota before ultimately finding refuge in northern San Luis Obispo County. When this lineage of would-be winemakers first settled in the Adelaida District, it was known for mercury mining, not grapes.

“They heard of the discovery of cinnabar (the primary mineral ore of mercury) in the Santa Lucia Mountains on the Central Coast of California and took a clipper ship to Cayucos,” explains Curt, Dubost Winery @dubostwinery Owner.

The eventual understanding of the metal’s toxicity led to the closure of most mines by the 1960s. The same mineral-rich soil that supported the mining community then paved the way for the renowned vineyards of today. “Pretty much all agree that some aspect of the wine industry is the only way now to sustain a family ranch here in Adelaida,” says Curt.

Around 2000, Curt and his wife Kate launched the family winery with their son, Jacob Raines. Jacob planted an eight-acre vineyard on the family land in 2001, from which they produced their first wine in 2004. As they expanded their reach across the county and beyond, tragedy struck. Jacob, the first Dubost winemaker and planter of many of the vines, was tragically lost to an accident on the property in 2010. Known for having a beautiful mind for art and an uncanny knack for creativity, his designs still grace wine bottles and art at the winery today to inspire future generations.

The winery features locally sourced cheeses and meats, available fruits and their own dough. “I love to experiment, and each month Kate and I settle on a featured special pizza using whatever fruits are in season,” says Curt.

In the wine industry, Kate says agony and ecstasy go hand in hand. More than just Dubost Winery, Kate calls on wine enthusiasts to support small operations. “I hope there is a place in the county for small, family-owned wineries,” says Kate.
