also interfere with fish migration, and a 5 foot falls 6 l/2 miles 

 upstream is a low water barrier. The survey party found 6 diversions 

 below the falls, each taking 7-13 c.f .So, buj these have been screened 

 in recent years o 



(rOOd salmon runs were reported prior to the 1905-1916 period^ but 

 few fish have been seen since then^ and there are no runs reported 

 in recent years o There are f,ood resting pools and spawning areas 

 s\.ifficient for several thousand salmon if this stream and the main 

 Teanaway could be kept passable for migratory fisho 



4L=(l)a, Staffo rd Creek .-- (July 15^ 1936s Shuman and Kolloeno) 

 Enters the north fork of the Teanaway stream, 7 miles upstream, is 

 7 miles long, and the lov/er 2,7 miles were surveyed to the mouth of 

 Bear Creeko The flov/ wes 21 uof.s. at the time of observationo The 

 gradient is moderate up to Bear Creek, but is steep above o There is 

 STiffioient spawning area for several hundred fish, and salmon were 

 reported to ascend as far as Bear Creek prior to 1916, bat; there 

 haTO been no runs in recent years o Bear Creek, a tributary, is 3 i/2 

 miles long and was surveyed for l/2 mile to an impassable 20 foot 

 falls and log janio It had a flow of 8 Cof.So and spawning area for 

 a few fish below the falls o 



4L=(2)o Middle Fork of the Teanaway River .— (July 5-7, 1936 1 

 Shuman and PetersonT) Extends for a distapce of 15 miles, of which 

 the lower 11 l/2 miles were surveyed. The discharge at the mouth 

 was 16 Cof.So at the time of observation. The lower 4 1/2 miles 

 is in a cultivated valley where the gradient is moderate and there 

 are good spawning riffles. The gradient increases above, and suitable 

 gravel is confined to 5;nall, scattered areas. There were four ^:i3Qreeiie( 

 irrigation diversions, the lower three having wing dams, and the upper 

 diversions having a log and rock dam that has no spill during lo<n water 

 periods and is therefore a barrier to fish. No salmon runs have been 

 reported since 1916. 



4L"(3)o West Fork of the Teanaway River .— (July 5, 1936? Shuman 

 and Kolloen.) This stream is 13 1/2 miles long, the lower 8.7 miles 

 having been surveyed. In the lower 6 miles the stream is about 30 

 feet wide, is shallow, has a moderate gradient, and a considerable 

 amount of suitable spawning area© Above this point the gradient is 

 steeper and the rubble larger. An impassable 15 foot falls was 

 encountered 7.3 miles upstream and at the upper end of the sut°vey a 

 rock-slide also we.s believed to be impassable. There were three 

 small unscreened irrigation ditches in the lov/er 3 miles o One ditch 

 had a low jving dam, and another had a low rock and board dam. Several 

 log jams were believed to be difficult for the passage of fish. Wo 

 salmon runs ha-"-e been reported for many years. Stream improvements for 

 the passage of salmon are not warranted because of irrigation demands 

 on the main Teanaway. None of the tributaries of the West Fork had a 

 flow of over 5 o.f.s.
