IC. Bakeoven Creek » ID. Waplnitia Creek , and IE. Nena Creek .— 

 ( June IV-yU, i'^liclj t'rey.) These are smaii, intermittent sti^efims' 

 that enter the Deschutes River in the vicinity of Maupin, Oregon, 

 They become completely dry in summer, and are of no value to salmon. 



IF, Warm Springs River . — (Jvine 20, 191*2; Frey.) Enters the 

 Deschutes River about 50 miles above Maupin, Oregon. The stream has 

 an approximate length of i|8 miles, most of iidiich was surveyed. All 

 of this stream and its tributaries lie within the boundaries of the 

 Warm Springs Indian Reservation, The main river has suitable spawn- 

 ing areas adeuqate for large runs of salmon and steelhead trout, and 

 is one of the two important salmon streams in the Deschutes River 

 system. The Indian Agency reports that the Indians take from 50 to 

 100 Chinook salmon from the river each year. No definite infonna- 

 tion was available regarding the catch of steelhead trout. 



There are only two small dams in the river that interfere 

 with the upstream migiration of fish. The first of these is a flash- 

 boeird-type structure, 5»5 feet high, located at Hot Springs about 

 8 miles above the mouth of the stream. The dam has a poor, loose- 

 rock spillway that makes the sti*ucture impassable during low water 

 periods. The second is a log -crib dam about 3 faet high located a 

 short distance above the road bridge at HeHe. 



IF - (1), Beaver Creek , — (June 20, 19i|2j Frey.) Enters Warm 

 Springs river about 2^ mixes above the mouth. The stream has a 

 length of about 20 miles, all of -wrtiich was examined. This is a good 

 salmon stream and maintains an adequate flow of water during the 

 summer. It has an average width of about 30 feet, and at the time of 

 survey the flow was estimated at about 100 c.f.s. The greater part 

 of the Chinook salmon run entering Warm Springs river proceed to this 

 tributary to spawn. There are no natural or artificial obstructions 

 in the creek and none of its water is diverted, 



IF - (l)a, Butte Creek . — (June 20, 19ij2; Frey.), Enters Beaver 

 Creek 12 miles aoove tne mouth. The stream is about 8 miles long, has 

 an average width of 20 feet near the mouth, and at the time of survey 

 the flow was estimated at 20 o.f.s. There is sufficient suitable 

 spawning area to accommodate a small jrun of ohinook salmon. 



IF - (2). Mill Creek, -- (June 20, 19J42S Frey.) Enters Warm 

 Springs river about 27 miles above the mouth. The stream is approxi- 

 mately 27 miles long, is about 20 feet wide at the mouth, and at the 

 time of survey was flowing about 60 o.f.s. Suitable spawning areas 

 were observed in the middle section of the stream. A few ohinook 

 salmon enter this stream every year but it oould easily support many 

 more. The only dam on the stream is located about 1/^ mile above the 

 road bridge. It is formed by a single log, 3 feet in diameter, and is 

 easily passable. This dam diverts from 10 to I5 c.f.s. into a large 

 unscreened irrigation ditch. The Indian Agency reported that a falls 

 blocking the ascent of fish to Trout lake was blasted out in 1959,
