 Salmon River, Idaho. USDA For. Serv. Res. Pap. INT-205,

Fish populations in 23 tributaries of the South Fork Salmon River 

 v/ere sampled in 1971, 1972, and 1974. Juvenile chinook salmon were 

 found in one secondary and 11 primary tributaries. The first 400 m 

 reach of stream adjacent to the river was the most important area for 

 rearing and supported 58 percent of the total tributary chinook salmon 

 population. Only three tributaries had chinook salmon more than 1.6 km 

 from the river. The tributary chinook salmon standing crop ranged 

 from 0.01 to 0.38/m^ and averaged 0.06,/m^ for all streams.
