area above the falls, particularly in the middle section of the 

 stream, which is utilized by resident trout » The City of Astoria 

 has a water right for 23 cfoS. on this stream., and it is very pos- 

 sible that the city may construct a storage reservoir above the 

 falls at some future dateo 



3A<. Walluski River o— (fey 9., 1946; Parkhurst„ Gangmarko and 

 Br9wington)o The V/alluski River enters Youngs Bay about 3 miles 

 above the Youngs Bay highviray bridge. It is about 8 miles long, wii;h 

 a tidal slough comprisiag the lower 2^- miles o In the next. 2§ miles the 

 stream had an average width of 15 feet^, a flow of 5 CofoS., and the water 

 temperature was 50^F» Although there is considerable mud and sand in 

 the lower mile of this section., there is sufficient spawning area for 

 at least TOO pairs of salmon. The upper section of the stream is 

 PTrall but :ontai--s some additional spawning areao Numerois ]og jams 

 were found in this stream,, some of which were believed tc be impassable 

 at low water stages o Local residents report that the available spawn= 

 ing area is well utilized by a run of chum salmon in November and 

 early December » Large numbers of salmon fingerlings were observed. 



' 3B.. Klaskanine River o"—(lfe.y 3 . 19A6; Parkhurst., Zimmer, Fulton, 

 and MaltzeffTT Enters Ycungs River about 7 miles above the loongs Bay 

 highway bridge o The main stream extends for about 2 miles to tins con- 

 fluence of the North and South Forks . The low^er 1^ miles is a tidal 

 slough. The next 1/2 mile to a large, deep pool known as Sndley •» 

 Hole at the confluence of the forks contains spawning area for a few 

 salmon o Silver and fall chinook salmon and steelhead trout comprise 

 the principal runs entering the Klaskanine and its forks <. A large 

 spayming run of squawf3.sh enters the river in the spring. 



3B-(l)o North Fork of the Klaskanine River a— (May 3-6, 1946.? 

 Parkhurstj Zimmer, Fulton, and Iteltzeff)o Enters the Klaskanine River 

 about 2 miles above the mouth. The stream is about 13 miles long, of 

 which 11 miles were surveyed- It was 18-40 feet wide, had a flow of 

 41 c.f.So at the mouth and 30 c.f.So at a point 7 miles upstream. The 

 water temperatare was 48-52° P. The stream gradient is modera.-&e. From 

 tne mouth to the Oregon Fish Commission hatchery located about 2 miles 

 upstream there are many good riffles with spawning area for at least 

 700 pairs of salmon- A 9- foot dam at the hatchery is provided vri.th a 

 fish ladder,, but usually only a few spring steelhead trout are allcrtved 

 to ascend the stream above this pointy the salmon being taken for 

 artificial propagation. Above the hatchery the stream runs through a 

 narrow valley bordered by rugged hills covered with good stands of 

 second growth timber c The marginal vegetation is fairly '^rn-'.eo At 

 least 13 log jams were encountered, some of virhich probably are im- 

 passable at low v/ater stages. Barth Falls, 5"2 feet high^ located 3»7 

 miles above the hatchery dam is a low water barrier.
