  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: OWEB Project Number 216-5042-12451 Phase IV - Wallowa Mountains Bull Trout Monitoring, Final Report Abstract -- Bull trout were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1998 due to declining populations. Spawning survey data is important for determining relative abundance and distribution trends in bull trout populations. Without adequate funding, it has been difficult to find sufficient numbers of experienced bull trout surveyors and packers for surveys in the back-country, and to obtain adequate supplies to get the work accomplished. OWEB funding supported the continued survey of bull trout spawning areas in years 2016 through 2018 in the Grande Ronde and Imnaha drainages of northeast Oregon. Surveys were conducted by fisheries consultants, the Service, Nez Perce Tribe, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Freshwater Trust, Wallowa Resources, Anderson Perry, Inc., Grande Ronde Model Watershed, and volunteers. Timing of spawning, total redds, redd sizes, and redd locations are documented in the attached report. In 2016-2018, surveys were located on the Lostine and Imnaha Rivers, and Big Sheep and Bear Creeks. In addition, the Upper Minam and Wenaha were surveyed in 2018. OWEB funding helped to accomplish a total of 43.3, 41.1, and 71.7 stream miles surveyed in 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Tenmile Lake Basin Partnership - OWEB Final Report: Grant 217-2051 Abstract -- Pacific Lamprey are native to the Tenmile Watershed and culturally important to the local Native American Tribes. Likewise, Salmon and Steelhead have both an economic and cultural significance to the local citizens and Tribes. Pacific Lamprey were historically harvested by the people of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI), but it was unknown if Pacific Lamprey were still present in the Tenmile Watershed. A fish trap was built on Eel Lake by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) in 1989 for the purpose of fish capture and rearing. The trap is effective in capturing Salmon and Steelhead but may act as a barrier to the passage of Pacific Lamprey. This monitoring effort was designed to assess the presence/absence of Pacific Lamprey in the Tenmile Watershed, identify migration timing, potential lamprey passage barriers and rearing/spawning habitats, and collect and organize data from Eel Lake Trap on native Coho, Cutthroat, and native/hatchery Steelhead returns and trends. Lamprey larvae (ammocoete) monitoring was conducted in the summer of 2017 using electro-shockers. Shocking occurred on 3 tributaries of Tenmile Lakes (Big Creek, Johnson Creek, and Shutter Creek), and 3 creeks within the Eel Lake basin (Eel Creek, Clear Creek, and Winters Arm Creek). Two species of lamprey were identified, Western Brook (Lampetra richardsoni) and Pacific (Entosphenus tridentatus). Western Brook were found in all sampled Tenmile Lakes Basin streams, but only in the streams above Eel Lake Trap in the Eel Lake Basin. No Western Brook were identified in Eel Creek below the Trap. Pacific Lamprey were found in Johnson Creek and Big Creek in the Tenmile Lakes Basin, and in Eel Creek in the Eel Lake Basin. No Pacific Lamprey were identified above the Eel Lake Trap, suggesting that it may act as a complete passage barrier to that species. In addition, over 200 adult Pacific Lamprey were salvaged from an ODOT culvert enhancement project on Eel Creek near Hwy 101. Pacific Lamprey larvae were identified upstream of this project, but it is likely that it was a partial barrier. Two other ODOT culverts were identified as potential partial lamprey barriers on Eel Cr. Spawning areas for Pacific and Western Brook Lamprey are similar to spawning areas for salmon. Upper reaches of all the Tenmile Lake tributaries have appropriate spawning gravel. Lower stream areas are often high in sediment which is conducive to rearing lamprey larvae. This was confirmed in Johnson creek with high numbers of Pacific Lamprey larvae found at the mouth as it enters South Tenmile Lake. Farther upstream in the Johnson Creek system, larvae were abundant, but much smaller with many being too small to identify (<65mm). Western Brook larvae were found, but no Pacific Lamprey larvae were identified, perhaps amongst those unidentified specimens. Western Brook ammocoetes were also found at the lower site on Johnson Creek, and in Big Creek and Shutter Creek. Pacific Lamprey migration into the watershed is difficult to determine due to the elusive nature of the species and their life cycle trait of migrating in from the ocean in the spring of one year, then holding over until the next spring before spawning. When specimens are captured, it is difficult to determine whether it is a fresh migrant or last year’s holdover. Even if it can be determined which year it is from, it is still difficult to know how long it has been in the system before it was captured. In Phase 2 of this project, we will capture Pacific Lamprey either in traps near the mouth of Eel Cr, or at the lower culverts. This should give us a better sense of migration timing. Native Coho salmon counts at Eel Lake Trap were down significantly from the recorded high at the Trap of 441 in 2012, with only 66 native Coho returning in 2018 (the winter of 2017-2018). The previous 2 years were also low with 2016 and 2017 showing returns of only 53 and 118 respectively. The Coho numbers for most of the Oregon Coast also showed low returns. Hatchery Winter Steelhead counts were 502 for 2018. This compares to a record high of 828 in 2007, 595 in 2016, and 226 in 2017. Returning native Steelhead only numbered 10 for the 2018 season. The average return for Native Steelhead is 24. In 2018, 60 Steelhead were spawned including 2 native males, but no native females. 252 hatchery Steelhead were recycled into Saunders Lake, and 148 into Butterfield Lake. ODFW allocated 25,000 smolts for the Tenmile Watershed, which were acclimated and then released in April 2018.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Aquatic Habitat in Oregon Coastal Streams: Winter, 1999-2001 Abstract -- We compared summer and winter aquatic habitat conditions to determine patterns of seasonal habitat dynamics for coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Winter sites corresponded to summer sites, facilitating a direct comparison between seasons on a site specific and regional scale. The data sets included 128 sites selected from the Oregon Plan habitat sites (OPHS) surveyed in the summers of 1999 and 2000 and surveyed again in the winters of 2000 and 2001. We found significant differences among geomorphic, hydrologic, and physical habitat variables measured along identical reaches in streams between winter and summer. Increases in water volume corresponded with increased deep pool density, secondary channel habitats, and wood density. These differences highlight the importance of high winter flows in terms of their contribution towards essential habitat for coho survival and reproduction. Differences among habitat variables from consecutive winters were minimal, indicating that any differences in habitat variables may be a result of variation in annual precipitation. Moreover, minimal differences in habitat variables were observed between Basin and OPHS surveys, also leading to the suggestion that OPHS surveys, conducted during the summer may provide important baseline information on habitat variables within and among watersheds. Habitat quality, as measured by benchmarks, was shown to be independent of land ownership but not independent of monitoring area. This investigation allowed us to quantify seasonal changes in summer-to-winter habitat dynamics in coastal Oregon streams. Future research could involve the addition of juvenile salmon surveys with habitat surveys to determine any significant associations between fish density and habitat quality. Furthermore, habitat variables measured during the summer might be used to determine winter habitat conditions (i.e. and thus quality), after accounting for variation in annual precipitation. Attribute means and estimates of variation, measured at identical sites in summer and winter over the long-term, may be beneficial when linking summer to winter habitat variables and ultimately to fish density estimates, thereby increasing sample size and predictability.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Salmon, Steelhead and Bull Trout (SSBT) Pre-cursor Layer for Western Oregon Abstract -- This dataset represents both a derivation and synthesis of seven Oregon Fish Habitat Distribution datasets (winter steelhead, summer steelhead, coho salmon, spring Chinook, fall Chinook, chum salmon and Bull Trout) into a single SSBT dataset to support forestry related water protection rules. Stream reaches were filtered to include only the currently accessible habitat for the aforementioned species within the four Oregon Dept. of Forestry georegions in western Oregon: Western Cascade, Interior, Coast Range and South Coast. Basis categories were generalized into the following categories: observation-based or opinion-based. Observation based records include those records with a basis of: "Documented Observation of Fish" or observations of fish made during a protocol based survey, "Undocumented Observation of Fish" or observations of fish made during a non-protocol based survey, "Documented Observation of Habitat" or observation of habitat during a protocol based survey, and "Downstream of Documented Observation of Fish". Opinion based records include only those records which have a "Concurrence of Professional Opinion" amongst multiple fisheries biologists. The Oregon Fish Habitat Distribution Data Standard includes descriptions of these basis categories as well as the rules required for implementing updates. Data were synthesized into this single GIS dataset by selecting the "highest" record basis present across all 7 datasets. If an observation based record occurred within any one of the seven datasets, it was retained. If no observation based records were present across all seven species, the record was identified as opinion based. These data include all ODF stream size classes and also all ownerships and will be processed further by the Oregon Dept. of Forestry to identify where SSBT stream reaches occur on small and medium streams and on private lands in Western Oregon. Original source data are referenced to the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). In some rare cases, records for different species describing the same stream reach may be represented by different stream geometry due to mapping that referenced different versions of the NHD.

Sample sites were randomly selected and spatially balanced within the distribution of coho salmon (juvenile and adult) in Oregon coastal watersheds south of the Columbia River. Twenty five sites were targeted within each of the four population units. Each survey was approximately 1000 m in length and adhered to protocols in Moore et al (2007). The Habitat Limiting Factors Model (HLFM) was used to estimate habitat capacity and quality for rearing juvenile coho. The HLFM predicted that the Nehalem and Siuslaw basins could support the highest density of juvenile coho, and the South Umpqua the least. Seasonal changes in habitat were similar to that reported in a previous study. Winter surveys facilitated the assessment of habitat status and estimating capacity because the surveys were conducted at the time when habitat is most limiting to survival of juvenile coho. Winter surveys were particularly valuable in capturing secondary channel and slow water habitat units such as beaver ponds and alcoves. We also performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the number of survey sites necessary to represent each population unit within the desired confidence range of 30% recommended in the Coho Conservation Plan. Twenty five target sites were not adequate to describe the winter parr capacity within a 95% confidence interval of +30% in each population unit. Confidence intervals of estimates of parr per km ranged from 34 to 60% and mean parr per m2 ranged from 20 to 45%.

The basis of these estimates are visual counts of adult spawners in randomly selected stream reaches. To date, survey-derived estimates have not been validated against known spawner abundances. Beginning in 1999, we initiated a study at Smith River (Umpqua Basin) to calibrate survey-based spawner estimates. Smith River provides an ideal location for this type of study because it is typical of many other coastal streams that support coho salmon, contains large quantities of habitat and spawners, and provides the ability to efficiently trap and tag adequate portions of the coho run.
