Advisor Larry Forero
& Specialists Lisa Thompson & Ken Tate studied the distribution of
fish in Cow Creek from 2003 - 2005 in relation to environmental factors
such as flow, temperature, dissolved oxygen, cover, & pool
characteristics in rangeland & forested areas. Cooler, higher
elevation, deeper pools were more likely to have rainbow trout in summer,
although trout also used lower elevation pools in spring & fall. In
spring 2006 they will study unscreened irrigation diversions to see whether
juvenile Chinook salmon migrating to the ocean accidentally enter
diversions.
