Best spawning area, 1st 5 km. above 29, 30 

 tidewater. 



Many good riffles, but only small run. 29 

 Natural run bolstered by hatchery pro- 

 duction. 



Many good spawning areas; falls made I, 

 passable, increasing spawning areas. 

 Most spawning in upper tributaries. 



Some fish allowed to pass above hatchery 29 

 racks, but most reared at hatchery of 

 O.F.C. (Fish Commission of Oregon) 

 at km. 5. 



Run mostly reared in hatchery of 29 

 O.G.C. (Oregon Game Commission). A 

 few spawn in stream. 



Small stream, supports run. 1, 38 



Has good spawning area above first S 29 

 km. and in lower parts of tributaries. 

 Logging caused erosion and left silt and 

 brush to clog streams. Stream clearing 

 opened areas. 



Clatskanie Falls laddered in 1950's. 

 Beaver Creek blocked by falls about 

 6 km. up. Fish use available area. 



Falls about 3 km. up laddered in 1951. 

 Good spawning area. 



1, 38 



Excellent spawning areas. Improvements 1, 38 

 in passage at falls should allow in- 

 creased production. 



Logjam that blocked fish removed in 1, 38 

 late 1940's; many good spawnings riffles. 



Cowlitz system is one of top producers 1, 38 

 of steelhead trout in Washington. Has 

 1 20 km. good spawning and rearing 

 habitat. A large hatchery was built to 

 compensate for losses at dams, and only 

 fish in surplus of rearing capacity are 

 released above dam. 



Stream improvement and passage at 1, 38 

 barriers have increased spawning area. 

 Good fishing stream. 



Many barriers were present when sur- 1, 38 

 veyed in 1936 and in 1950. Best spawn- 

 ing area in lower 3 km., but small 

 areas are scattered throughout most of 

 stream. Fishways now allow access to 

 upper spawning areas. 



Formed by junction of forks, this small I, 38 

 stream was adversely affected by logging 

 in the I920's and 1930"s. Second- 

 growth timber has improved water qual- 

 ity again. Many brush and logjams re- 

 moved. North Fork, 16 km. long, has 

 only a small amount of spawning gravel. 

 South Fork, 14.4 km. long, has excellent 

 areas in middle third and a small run 

 of steelhead trout. One of many streams 

 improved by Lower Columbia Fisheries 

 Development Program of U.S.F.W.S. 

 (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 



An excellent stream for steelhead trout 1, 38 

 spawning and rearing. Has considerable 

 amount of spawning area in main stem 

 and North Fork which is sometimes 

 called the main Toutle R. Small runs 

 go into Hoffstadt and Coldwater Creeks. 

 Other tributaries described below. 



This large tributary has many good 1, 38 

 spawning areas in most of indicated area. 

 Canyonous area, km. 8 to 15. has ex- 

 cellent succession of pools and riffles. 

 Little spawning in its tributaries.
