IL - (?)• Oohoco Creek «— (J^ne 25, 19^42; Frey.) Enters Crooked 

 River about 2z miles below Frineville, Oregon, It is blocked by a dam 

 110 feet high located 6 miles above Prineville. Very little water is 

 by-passed to the stream below the dam, but it maintains a small flow 

 from seepage and springs which also supplies five diversions. Some- 

 times this lower section is completely dry. The stream has no value to 

 salmon* 



IL - (3)« Bear Creek > — (June 25, 19k2; Frey.) Enters Crooked 

 River 20 miles above Prineville, Oregon, This stream is of no value 

 to salmon because of the small stream flow during the spawning period. 

 In some years it becomes cccipletely dry, 



IL - (i|). Wickiup Creek , IL - (5)« Horseheaven Creek , and 

 IL - (6), Newsom Creek .— Cjime 2i;-25, iyij2; frey.j THese small 

 tributary streams of Crooked River are intermittent, lack suitable 

 spawning areas, and thus are of no value to salmon, 



IL - (7), North Fork, — (Unsurveyed) The North Fork is one of 

 the principle headwater tributaries of Crooked River, and has some 

 suitable spawning areas. It is blocked 12 miles above the mouth by a 

 falls 20-25 feet high. Any possible value to anadromous fish is nulli- 

 fied by the poor conditions prevailing in the main Crooked River, 



IL - (8), South Fork . — ( June 2k» 19il2j Frey.) Joins Beaver 

 Creek to form the main Crooked River 115 miles above the mouth of the 

 latter stream. It is about 30 miles long, has an average width of 

 about 8 feet, and at the time of survey was flowing about 5 c.f.s. 

 The stream has few suitable spawning areas, an intermittent flow sub- 

 ject to high water temperatures, and is of no value to salmon, 



IL - (9)« Beaver Creek ,— (June 25» 19i42; Frey,) The stream is 

 about 19 miles long frcm its mouth to the confluence of its north and 

 south forks. It has some good suitable spa'wning areas «ind others were 

 reported in its two principle tributaries. Old residents report that 

 Chinook salmon were caught in the stream i|0 to 50 years ago but that 

 few have been seen in recent years. An occasional steelhead trout has 

 been reported from the stream, 



IM, Squaw Creek ,— (June 22, 19h2l Frey,) Enters the Deschutes 

 River about U miles below Steelhead falls. There are ten dams and 

 diversions on this creek above the town of Sisters, Oregon, In the 

 summer the diversions take the entire stream flow, leaving a 3-iiiile 

 section near Sisters completely dry. Below this diry section a series 

 of springs maintains a flow of about 20 c.f ,8, to the mouth of the 

 stream, a distance of about 15 miles. None of the dams have spillways, 

 and all are barriers during low water. None of the diversions are 

 screened. The only suitable spawning areas are located in the upper 

 portion above the dry section. It Was reported that steelhead trout 

 continued to enter this stream up to a few years ago, but there were 

 no reports of salmon having entered the stream. Water rights on the 

 stream preclude the maintenance of an adequate flow to eliminate the 

 dry section near Sisters, In its present condition the stream is of 

 little or no value to anadromous fish.
