The Survey 



34* Eagle Creek . — (Inspected larch 21, 194A; Nielson.) Unters 

 the Columbia iai'iiediatel^'- above Bonneville Daia, Tlie stream is about 11 

 niles long, of i/hich tlie lov;er 2 miles vrers inspected up to an in- 

 i:)a3sable falls over 100 feet high. Although tiiere is s javming area 

 for several hundred salmon, it is little used by the run of fall chiuook 

 which enters the streaia because tliese fish are intercepted at hatchery 

 raoV:s of the Oregon Fish Corni7.ission located about 1/2 mile above the 

 ."louth. The eggs are taken to the Bonne'/ille hatchery. 



35. Ruckel Creek . — (inspected March 21, 1X4. j Nielson.) This small 

 streara entering the Colimbia aliout 1 mile above Bonneville Dan is of lit- 

 tle value to salmon because of an impassable falls />D feet in height lo- 

 cated less than 1//+ mile above the mouth. 



36. Herman Creek . — (Inspected March 21, 19445 Nielson.) Knters the 

 Coluiiibia 5 miles aljove Bonr'.eville Dai.i, is 7g miles long, and is blocked 

 by an impassable falls about 1 mile above the mouth. It was about 15 

 feet -iTide and had a flov; of 20 c.f.s. 



There is suitable sj:)aYming area for several hundred salmon below 

 tlie falls, but this area is little used ny t,ne run of fall Chinook 

 saL'tion vhich enter the stream because these fish are intercepted at the 

 mouth by hatchery racks of the Oregon Fish Commission. Ttie eggs are 

 liatched at the Q:: Boiv station on t;iis stream and at the Bonneville hatch- 

 ery.
