The famous Punchbov/l f^lls are located 1/2 mile above the nouth, 

 vihere the stream drops about 15 feet into a large, deep, circular pool. 

 It is reported that sone steeli.ead are able to ijass this falls at hi£;h 

 ivater periods^ and in former years considerable numbers of chinook 

 salmon are said to liave SiJavmed above the falls. The pool below the 

 falls was then a popular place for salmon anglers, uhn took large num- 

 bers of fish each year, ho salmon have been seen above the falls in 

 recent years, due in iJart to the reduction in floy-i because of diversions 

 above, which has made the falls more difficult for fish to pass. 



The Dee Irrigation Canal, located 6 miles above the mouth, has a 

 capacity of 25 c.f.s., and should be screened. 



The \iest Fork contains the best spavming area in the Hood River 

 system, and could accoriaiodate several thousand salmon and steelhead 

 if the stream were niade accessible by improvements in lower Hood River 

 and the construction of fishivay at Punchbowl Falls. 



The upper 8 miles of the stream and its upper tributaries should 

 be surve^red. 



4AG-(1). Dead Point Creek .— (Inspected ^arch 23, 194-43 Nielson.) 

 A small stream entering; the kfest Fork of Hood River imincdiatel;'- below 

 Funchboi/'l I!fe.lls<. It is blocked at the mouth by an impassable falls 

 over 50 feet high, and is of no possible value to mi£,ratnry fish. 



l^UG-i2). Green Point Creek. — (lns|5ected IJkrch 23, 1944; Nielson.) 

 Enters the 'iVest Fork about 1 mile above Punchboiil Falls . It is 6 miles 

 long, 15 feet wide, ?ind had a discharge of 25 c.f.s. The gradient is 

 steep and there is little suitable s^rnvming area.

46. Hosier Creek . — 



47 • Ro^1fena Dell Creek . — 



48. Chenov;eth Creek . — (Inspected tJarch 23, 19 '^(4 J Nielson.) These 

 four sm^.ll streams enter the Columbia River between Hood River and The 

 Dalles, Oregon. Thej^ all carry little or no water during the summer . 

 None of them are of value to salmon. 



49. Mill Greek . — (Inspected Iferch 24, 1944; Nielson.) Enters the 

 Columbia River at T!-ie Dalles, Oregon. It is about 10 miles long to the 

 confluence of its north and south forks. The stream was 12 feet wide 

 and discharging about 20 c.f.s. Several small unscreened diversions 

 were observed. 



Although tl:e stream contains suitable S]XLvming area throughout^ and 

 is reported to have formerly supported small runs of salmon and steelhead 

 it is noviT subject to extremely low flows during the summer and fall 

 montlis J and is of little value to salmon.
