discharge at the r.iouth on June 1, 193'i^ was 77 c.f.s., a; id at a point 

 7«7 miles upstream was 4-6.4 c.f.s. late summer flows of less than 10 

 c.f.s., are rexDrted. The vrater tenjcrature vras 52° to 59° F. The 

 gradient is fairly steep, with series of cascades and low falls. A 

 log jam 6 miles above the mouth was considered a barrier to fish at 

 lov;- water. A cascade tvT)e falls 10 feet hij^h located 10|- miles above 

 the mouth is a barrier to the upstream passage of fish. 



There are fevi large }»ols but many extensive s javming riffle 

 areas belov/ the falls, providing some potential spavming area. No 

 salmon were seen or reported. A fev; cutthroat trout were reported. 



Th.ere are several small tributaries to Sharps Creek, of v/hich on-

 value to salmon. Table and Buck Greeks 1-iad flovfs of 2 c.f.s., and

25FF-(4.)e. layng Greek . — Uune 1, 1938: Hanavan and Langton.) 

 Joins Frank Brice Creek to fona How River at a point approximately 22 

 miles above th.e mouth. The stream is about 11-2- miles long of vrfiich 

 the lov;er 5 miles were surveyed to an impassable 12-foot high domestic 

 water supply dam. I'he stream had an ave^^age v/idth of 30 feet, the dis- 

 charge was 38 c.f.s., and the vK.ter temperature was 59° to 63 F. 



The streaivi course extends through a narrow valley in a v/ooded, 

 mountainous area. A large lart of the watershed has been logged. 



A 4-foot high dam for a swi'^iing pool at the Rujada Ranger Sta- 

 tion, 1-j miles above the mouth, might at tines obstruct the passage 

 of fish. 



The gradient is fairly steep with numerous cascades and low falls. 

 Over 50 percent of the stream bed is composed of bedrock and large rub- 

 ble. No salmon y^ere seen or reported. The stream does contain small 

 numbers of resident rainbovf ana cutthroat trout. Hone of the tributaries 

 were accessible for any great distance. 



25Fl''-(4.) f . Frank I^rice Greek . — (June 2-3, 1938; ilanavan and 

 Langton.) Joins Layng Greek to form Row River at a point approximate- 

 ly 22 miles above the mouth. The stream is about I6 miles long, of 

 vfhich the lower 8.3 miles were sui'veyed up to an impassable falls 25 

 feet high. The stream v/as 55 - 65 feet wide, the discharge v/as 132 

 c.f.s., and the v/ater temperature was 50° to 52° F. 



The stream flov/s tlirough a narrow steep-walled canyon bordered bj'- 

 heavily forested (mountains. Small scale logging operations vrere in 

 progress .
