ESCAPEMENT TIMING Middle. Aug. -Sep. ESCAPEMENT MAGNITUDE 5,000 
SPAWNING FACILITIES Excellent, though limited. 
STREAM TEMPERATURES Normal range (estimated). 
VALLEY DESCRIPTION Stream cut. A good low gradient intertidal area extends a short distance into the 
valley above high tide. The valley ends abruptly where the stream turns sharply northward to the steep valley wall. 
DRAINAGE Less than 4 square miles (estimated). There is a small lake 3 air miles N.W. of the stream mouth. 
2, 000 foot mountains lie on either side of the upper valley and provide fairly good stream discharge even during 
very dry summers. 
STREAM MOUTH IDENTIFICATION The intertidal zone is long and flat. The mouth lies 1 mile S.E. of the 
entrance into the lagoon at the mouth of Fillmore River (see K 8, Previous No. 5A). 
ANCHORAGE See K 8, Previous No. 5A. No reports available on anchorage at the mouth of this stream, but 
probably is satisfactory at the drop-off. Note that this inner system of bays at the head of Fillmore Inlet are not 
charted and courses should be checked carefully for rocks. 
TRAILS AND SURVEY ROUTES Appears to be relatively easy to survey on foot. The distances are short and 
the stream splits above high tide into several easily walked channels. 
AERIAL SURVEY NOTES Most of the major spawning occurs in the upper intertidal and lower stream which is 
easily visible from the air. This stream is directly on the aerial route from outer Fillmore Inlet to Fillmore River.
