Survey Of The Columbia River And Its Tributaries

Excerpt from Survey of the Columbia River and Its Tributaries, Vol. 3 Many of the watersheds were completely logged off long ago and as a result stream flows are usually much smaller and water temperatures much higher than formerly during the summer and fall months. Therefore, the stream Spawning capacities are smaller than formerly. However, an extensive regrowth of timber and brush on the deforested slopes should result in some improvement of stream spawning conditions in the future. Practically all of the tributaries originally supported capacity runs of salmon, principally fall Chinook, silver and chum salmon. There were also good runs of steelhead and sea-run cutthroat trout. Despite the harmful effects resulting from logging operations, the encroachment of civilization, and a certain amount of overfishing, the streams still maintain a sufficient nucleus of fish and still have sufficient poten tial value to warrant their rehabilitation.

Excerpt from Survey of the Columbia River and Its Tributaries, Vol. 7: Area Vi., Snake River From Above the Grande Ronde River Through the Payette River Although it is impossible to conduct a biological survey of the Snake River through Hell's Canyon, it may be stated that this section is of no value to salmon because of the steep gradient and the bedrock composition of the river bed.
