streams in the tidal flats provides little spawning area for salmon and 

 trout. However, the streara sections between the tidal flats and tine 

 steep upper sections usiuilly include some suitable spawning areas, 



llany of the Tratersheds were completely logged off long ago and as 

 a result stream flows are usually much smaller and v/ater temperatures 

 much higher tlian formerly during the suinraer and fall months. Therefore, 

 the stream spaTming capacities are smaller than foririerly. Hovi/ever, an 

 extensive regro7/th of tiraber and brush on the deforested slopes should 

 result in some improvement of streara spawning conditions in the future. 

 Practically all of the tributaries originally supported capacity runs 

 of salmon, principally fall chinook, silver and chiun salmon. There 

 vrere also good runs of steelhead and sea-run cutthroat trout. Despite 

 the harmful effects resulting from logging operations, the encroachi.ient 

 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 Trarrant their rehabilitation.
