It is only during brief freshet periods that water flovirs in the 

 stream channel belov; this danic All normal flo>vs are diverted to the 

 Bull Run povrerhouse (see above number 22) » For this reason the stream 

 is of no present or potential value to migratory fish, 



22Eo Cedar Creek , — 



22Fc Badger Creek o — (inarch 15-20, 1940j Hanavan and Parkhurst). 

 These tvro streams both enter the Sandy River belovf IJarmot Dam in the 

 section that usually becomes dry in summer because of the Marmot 

 diversion. They are small streams with loTf summer floT^., and are of 

 no importance . 



22Gi> Salmon River ,— (l-larch 15-20,. 194-0; Hanavan and Parkhurst). 

 Enters the Sandy River about 35 miles above the mouth « It is about 32 

 miles long J of virhich the loTrer 7 miles were sui*veyedo It was 90-150 

 feet yilde in the lower section, although it has considerable fluc- 

 tuation in size. During the fall spavming season (September-November) 

 the discharge at the mouth usually ranges from 70 to 200 c»f,s. 



Although the stream heads in a glacier on Mt, Hood, the greater 

 part of its flow comes from springs, and it is consequently less af- 

 fected by silt and sand than the main Sandy and Zigzag Rivers, Ex- 

 tensive spawning areas were found in the section surveyed. The Salmon 

 River is said to have formerly supported the largest runs of spring 

 Chinook, silver salmon„ and steelhead trout in the Sandy River system. 

 The former Uo 3, Bureau of Fisheries and the Oregon Fish Commission 

 operated an egg-taking station on this stream from 1896 to 1913 « Few 

 salmon now reach the stream, due to the effects of the Jferraot Dam and 

 divers iono The potential value of the Salmon River to migratory fish 

 is entirely dependent on the solution of the problems affecting fish 

 at the Marmot Dam and diversion. 



22Ho Zigzag River ,— (iferch 15-20^ 194.05 Hanavan and Parkhurst). 

 Enters the Sandy River 40 miles above the mouth. The stream is about 

 14 miles long, of which the lower mile was surveyed. Above this point 

 the stream is too steep to be of much possible value to fish. The 

 stream was 40-75 feet wide^ fairly steep and carried a large amount of 

 glacial silt. The lower 400 yards is channeled for flood control« 

 Spawning area is found only in small scattered patches. The stream is 

 of little present value to migratory fish because of conditions at the 

 !fermot Dam and diversion on the main Sandy River, Several small tribu- 

 taries are utilized to a small extent by steelhead trout. 



Four small tributaries to the upper Sandy River have small patches 

 of spawning area but are generally inaccessible to salmon. A few steel- 

 head have been reported in Clear Creek.
