L'pper Minam and Lower Minam R. 



lower little Mlnan 

 and North Minan 

 Rivers. 



Steelhead trout fare slightly better than 26, 33 

 salmon because of habit of migrating 

 and spawning in high water period. 

 Splash dam operations caused loss of 

 lower river. 



Excellent spawning areas, but becomes 26 

 nearly dry at times in ]ate summer. 



Excellent spawning areas. Number of 26 

 irrigation diversions takes most of sum- 

 mer flow. 



Many excellent spawning areas.

One of most productive streams in Co- 27, (*) 

 lumbia River Basin. Has many excellent 

 spawning and rearing areas. Large 

 numbers caught by sportfishermen an- 

 nually. 



Good spawning areas throughout most 27, (*) 

 of stream.

Former large runs attest to value of 27, (*) 

 spawning area. Stream is still good 

 producer. 



Largest and most p.oductive tributary. 27. (*) 

 Excellent spawning areas in tributaries. 



Mining stopped in 1961. Stream im- 27, (*) 

 provement needed to restore dredged 

 areas. Rather small run. 



Dredging has stopped- Stream has gocxl 27, (*) 

 shade cover and good spawning riffles. 



Spawning areas abundant and of excel- 27, (*) 

 lent quality. Now that diversions are 

 screened, increased production should be 

 possible. 



Heavy agricultural use of water limits 27, (*) 

 rearing capacity screening recently ac- 

 complished, should improve survival of 

 young. Good spawning area in section 

 indicated. 



Supports good run. Has many kilo- 27, (*) 

 meters of excellent spawning area. 



Gold dredging has caused damage to 27, (*) 

 streambed. Rehabilitation of areas 

 needed, but small run still present. 



Former gold dredging adversely affected 27. (*) 

 spawning areas; good run still persists. 



Supports substantial run of steelhead 27 

 trout. Sportsmen catch many in areas 

 open to fishing. 



Low flows caused by irrigation diversion 27 

 reduced value of stream, but a small 

 run was still present when run was 

 slopped at Hells Canyon Dam In 1964. 



Small run spawned in this small stream (*) 

 before run was cut off in 1964 by Hells 

 Canyon Dam. 



Had a small run till 1958 when fish (*) 

 were transplanted elsewhere before con- 

 struction of Oxbow Dam.
