Enters the Clackamas River approximately 17 miles above the mouth. The 

 stream is about 22 iniles long^, of which the lovrer 9 miles were surveyed 

 up to Eagle Creek Falls. The stream width ranged from 30 to 90 feet^ 

 and the mater temperature was 60-65° F. 



A snail falls below Eagle Fern Park in the lower section of the 

 stream was provided with a fishway about the year 1940 ^ but might be 

 improved. Eagle Creek Falls j, 18 feet high, recently has been greatly 

 improved for fish passage by the construction of a new ladder by the 

 regon Fish and Game Comm.ission<, 



There is good si^avming area up to Ite.gle Creek Falls sufficient to 

 accor.imodate at least 3;. 000 fish. The remainder of the stream should 

 be surveyed. 



A fair run of spring Chinook and a few silver salmon enter the 

 stream. It was reported in September and October 1941 that there were 

 500 - 700 spring chinooks sita-vming in E^gle Creek, and others at the 

 confluence with the Clackamas. There is also a fair spring run of 

 steelhead trout. 



25B-(4)a. Morth pbrk of Bagle Creek .— (June 26, 1938 j Morton o) 

 Enters Eagle Creek 5 miles above the mouth. The stream is 10 miles 

 long, of which the lower 4 miles were surveyed. The stream had an 

 average width of 12 feet, and vsas discharging 20 c.f.s. 



The lower 2 miles of the watershed had been recently stripped by 

 a logging operation, and the stream vra.s jammed with logging debris. 



There is spavming area available for several hundred salmon. The 

 stream is evidently a good producer for its size, many chinook and 

 silver salmon fingerlings having been observed. 



25B-(4)b, Delph Creek . —(June 26, 1938; Wilding.) Enters Eagle 

 Creek 8 miles above the mouth « The stream is about 9 miles long, of 

 which the lower 3 miles were sunreyed up to the 4 foot high U. S* Fish 

 liatchery dam. The stream was disciiarging 7-8 c.f .s. The gradient is 

 steep, and there are numerous small falls, cascades, and debris jams. 

 There is little spaivning area in the stream ~ 



A small run of steelhead trout are able to pass the tiatchery dam 

 at high water, but during lovi water periods the entire flovj- is divert- 

 ed for hatchery use, 



25c. Ab erne they Oroek . — This small stream entering the Willamette 

 1/2 mile above the Clackamas River is of no value to salmon. 



25D. Tualatin River . — (September 14--15, 1940; Frey and Zimmer. 

 September 11-12, 1945; Hanavan and Parkhurst.) Enters the Willamette
