  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: AI - Stream Habitat Conditions on Industrial Forest Lands in Coastal Oregon Abstract -- In the summer of 1998 and 1999, watersheds in western Oregon were randomly sampled for stream habitat conditions. Sites were selected using a random tessellation stratified design. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Aquatic Inventories methods were used to quantify indicators of sediment supply and quality, riparian forest connectivity and health, habitat structure, in-stream complexity, and presence of salmonid species. As part of the overall sampling 47 sites in 1998 and 70 sites in 1999 were sampled on industrial forest lands. Of these sites 13 were sampled both in 1998 and 1999, and 37 sites were sampled for fish presence/absence. Approximately 44% of the sites sampled for habitat were within the range of anadromous salmonids. Upstream catchment area and gradient were the two major factors driving the overall patterns of habitat variables. Secondarily, land ownership and geology were other factors correlated with the habitat variables analyzed. The private non-industrial land ownership type was characterized by slightly higher fine sediment levels, lower wood volumes and number of key wood pieces, lower densities of deep pools, and lower levels of stream shading. State and industrial forest lands show moderate wood levels in the stream channel, although they show low levels of conifers in riparian zones. The sedimentary geologic type was characterized by higher levels of fine sediments in riffle units. Twelve, high quality, unconstrained stream reaches occurred in the 1998 and 1999 habitat sample on Industrial forest lands. Conditions on industrial forest lands in 1998-1999 were compared to conditions in 1993-1994 to detect any potential change over the five-year period. Three different datasets were analyzed. No significant changes in aquatic habitat or riparian conditions were detected. Electrofishing surveys were conducted at 37 sites outside or the expected range of coho salmon to determine fish presence/absence. Salmonid species were present at 19 of the sites that were electrofished.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Management Plan Thompson Valley Reservoir 1986 Abstract -- Thompson Valley Reservoir is an irrigation impoundment on Silver Creek in Lake County. It is located within the Fremont National Forest approximately 15 miles south of the town of Silver Lake. The reservoir was constructed in 1926 and is owned and operated by the Silver Lake Irrigation District. There is no minimum pool stipulation. However, under normal operation, the reservoir maintains enough water to support a year-around fish population. The Department of Fish and Wildlife manages the reservoir for a trout fishery. The Fremont National Forest constructed and maintains two campgrounds with boat launching facilities. Angling is the most popular recreational activity, while other uses include camping, hunting and bird-watching. The Forest Service estimated that the reservoir received 9,000 recreational visitor-days of use in 1983. Use in 1984 was substantially higher. In November 1986, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Thompson Valley Reservoir for hatchery trout and look at the potential of eventually introducting bass or bass hybrids.

The lake and adjacent lands, are managed by the Forest under recreation and visual classifications. The water of the lake is state-owned and the fish resources are managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). Hosmer Lake is a natural lake located about 40 miles west of Bend via County Road 46 (Century Drive) and Forest Road 470. One main campground, one overflow campground and a concrete boat ramp are managed by the Deschutes National Forest. Hosmer Lake covers 160 surface acres and lies at an elevation of 4,950 feet. Maximum water depth is 11 feet and most of the lake is very shallow. The only inlet to the lake is Quinn Creek, a spring-fed stream with a flow of 25 cfs and a near-constant temperature of 42°F. Hosmer Lake contains Atlantic salmon ("Salmo salar") and brook trout ("Salvelinus fontinalis"). The lake was chemically treated in 1957 to remove a population of carp ("Cyprinus carpio"), Tui chub ("Siphateles bicolor") and brook trout. The treatment successfully removed all carp and Tui chub, but not all brook trout. Non-game fish have not reappeared since 1957. Originally, it was hoped the Atlantic salmon would spawn successfully in Quinn Creek. However, they cannot ascend the six-foot falls in lower Quinn Creek. The pumice bottom and annual anchor-ice scouring also nullifies egg development. The population of salmon at Hosmer has been maintained soley by hatchery fish since 1958.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Phillips Creek Watershed Assessment Abstract -- Watershed Assessments for the Grande Ronde River Subwatersheds are being prepared for the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program. This Watershed Assessment addresses the Phillips Creek Watershed located near Elgin, Oregon. Phillips Creek is a relatively small watershed (4th order HUC – Hydrologic Unit Classification) containing about 33 square miles or slightly over 24,000 acres. Phillips Creek empties into the Grande Ronde River in Elgin. It is an intermittent stream in some reaches, but water flows year around in other reaches. In this Assessment the main emphasis is on the nonfederal lands. The USDA Forest Service – Umatilla National Forest recently completed a watershed assessment on the National Forest area that includes Phillips, Cabin, Gordon and Dry Creeks. For more complete information on watershed condition on federal lands, please refer to the Umatilla National Forest’s Phillips-Gordon Ecosystem Analysis (PGEA). This assessment will describe the Phillips Creek watershed and help to identify the stream processes and features that are working well, and those that are not. Information that is already available from state and federal agencies as well as from private sources (including people that live in the area) will be used. Several public meetings were held to obtain information and insights from people that live in the area. The assessment will identify human’s positive and negative influences to the immediate stream environment. The assessment should provide enough information to develop project plans and monitoring plans that will help to protect and improve water quality and fish habitat in Phillips Creek and its tributaries. This assessment includes a description of Phillips Creek Watershed, historical conditions assessment, channel habitat type classification, hydrology and water use, riparian assessment, wetlands assessment, sediment sources assessment, channel modification assessment, water quality assessment, water rights assessment, fish and fish habitat assessment, upland conditions assessment – Forest, upland conditions assessment – Range, developed area assessment, noxious weeds assessment, and a watershed condition evaluation.

The USDA Forest Service – Umatilla National Forest recently completed a watershed assessment on the National Forest area that includes Phillips, Cabin, Gordon and Dry Creeks. For more complete information on watershed condition on federal lands, please refer to the Umatilla National Forest’s Phillips-Gordon Ecosystem Analysis (PGEA). This assessment will describe the Phillips Creek watershed and help to identify the stream processes and features that are working well, and those that are not. Information that is already available from state and federal agencies as well as from private sources (including people that live in the area) will be used. Several public meetings were held to obtain information and insights from people that live in the area. The assessment will identify human’s positive and negative influences to the immediate stream environment. The assessment should provide enough information to develop project plans and monitoring plans that will help to protect and improve water quality and fish habitat in Phillips Creek and its tributaries. This assessment includes a description of Phillips Creek Watershed, historical conditions assessment, channel habitat type classification, hydrology and water use, riparian assessment, wetlands assessment, sediment sources assessment, channel modification assessment, water quality assessment, water rights assessment, fish and fish habitat assessment, upland conditions assessment – Forest, upland conditions assessment – Range, developed area assessment, noxious weeds assessment, and a watershed condition evaluation.

Twenty of these lakes were located and named by the survey crew. Of this group of 20, four had fish present, although there was no recorded name or stocking record. An additional 27 potholes and shallow lakes were explored and followed to be unsuitable for fish. These factors are listed in the Appendix. Data collected on the lakes included water and air temperatures, the approximate depth and bottom types, presence of natural reproduction, angling pressure and the general condition of the fish population. Special attention was paid to the accessibility of the lakes. A sample of the fish was taken by angling or gill net sets. The female fish were weighed, measured and examined for sexual maturity. The degree of sexual maturity was classed as mature, maturing and immature. The lakes, in general, are so widely separated in this section of the Cascade that it is difficult to group them in specific basins, therefore, these lakes have been grouped in the Willamette National Forest and the Mt. Hood National Forest watershed 2 and Watershed 3, respectively.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lake Survey of some lakes in the Rogue River, Deschutes and Willamette National Forests, 1960 Abstract -- A survey of eighty-eight Cascade lakes was conducted from July 1 to September 16, 1960. A physical survey and population study was conducted on thirty-five lakes and a population study only on fifty-seven lakes. The lakes receiving only the population study had been previously surveyed, and a repetition was not thought necessary. The survey consisted of gathering data on the condition of the fish populations, angling intensity, physical characteristics of each lake, and other information pertinent to the future management of the lake. Several lakes which have been stocked in the past, but presently contained no fish, were considered too shallow. Stocking policies on a number of lakes were considered inadequate and a change was recommended to benefit the population. Of the lakes surveyed, fifty-seven were in the Rogue River National Forest, twenty-nine in the Deschutes, and three in the Willamette National Forest. The author wishes to express appreciation to Ken Witty, field assistant, Art Gerlach, Monty Montgomery, Len Mathisen, and Lois Genna for assistance in the preparation of this report. Stocking records, for the most part, are shown for a period of approximately eight to ten years. Prior stockings may have been made in some cases.

This analysis was conducted by Siuslaw National Forest personnel with assistance from the Bureau of Land Management - Coos Bay District. The analysis was focused on fisheries and wildlife issues. The existing resource conditions were compared to expected natural conditions to assess trends in resource conditions. From this information, a strategy of restoration opportunities to enhance resource conditions on federal lands was developed. Watershed Analysis is one of the key components of the Aquatic Conservation Strategy (ACS) developed for the Northwest Forest Plan (NFP) (USDA-USDI 1994). The analysis is intended to facilitate watershed planning that: 1) achieves Aquatic Conservation Strategy and Late-Successional Reserve objectives and 2) provides the basis for monitoring and restoration programs.

The 148 acre lake is within the Willamette National Forest at an elevation of 3,012 feet. Clear Lake is biologically unusual. Although the underwater trees are not petrified, decomposition has been very slow because of the _low level of biological activity in the water. Biological activity is confined mainly to benthic algae in the northern end of the lake and to planktonic diatoms (primarily "Asterionella" and "Fragilaria") in the southern portion. Cutthroat trout is apparently the only indigenous salmonid species in Clear Lake. A 1922 Forest Service report describes Fish Lake and Hackleman Creek as being the most important spawning and juvenile rearing habitat for Clear Lake trout.

The proposed project evaluates stream temperature and riparian condition before and after harvesting. Sites will be evaluated on both privately-owned and state-owed forestland. A pre/post- study design that establishes control, treatment, and downstream reaches, 2 years prior to harvest is proposed. Temperature, channel, overstory and understory riparian characteristics will be monitored two years prior to harvest and for 5 years after harvesting to evaluate harvest effects and recovery rates. This project approach, design, and proposed analysis will go through a review process involving reviewers from private research, DEQ, ODF&W, stakeholders, researchers, and representatives of the environmental caucuses.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: AI - Rearing of Juvenile Salmon in Recovering Wetlands of the Salmon River Estuary Abstract -- The Salmon River estuary, on the central Oregon coast, provides an excellent opportunity to study salmonid use of restored tidal marsh. The U.S. Forest Service manages the estuary as part of the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area with the goal to rehabilitate the estuary “to its condition prior to the existing diking and agricultural use.” To achieve this goal, the U.S. Forest Service has completed three dike removal projects at 9-year intervals beginning in 1978. These projects created a patchwork of restored marshes in various stages of recovery, providing a natural laboratory for studying marsh restoration processes and their effects on estuarine rearing salmonids. Our Sea Grant-funded research, which is a cooperative study with researchers from the University of Washington, has four objectives: (1) describe salmon species use of undiked reference and recovering marshes; (2) compare diets of juvenile salmon among reference and diked marshes of different recovery ages; (3) compare availability and distribution of prey organisms consumed by juvenile salmon; and (4) assess geomorphological and ecological indicators (“metrics”) of restored wetlands and relationships to salmon use. This report describes the results of fish distribution and abundance surveys. Results of the other objectives are described in Gray et al. (In Review).

Access from Highway 22 is via USFS road 2255 and a two mile hike from the trailhead. Marion Lake has long been a popular recreational area and had been planned for extensive development by the Forest Service as early as 1913. Most of the plans never materialized, although two summer cabins and a guard station were constructed by 1928 and a permit was issued to the Marion Lake Boatowners' Association for construction of a boat house in 1954. About 140 boats were being stored at Marion Lake when it was absorbed into the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness in 1968. Boats and structures have since been removed and the area left to return to its natural state. Recreational and angler use remains heavy. According to Forest Service estimates, Marion Lake accommodates 22,000 visitor days/year, which is about 30 percent of the entire use in the Mt. Jefferson wilderness. In November 1986, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Marion Lake for wild and hatchery trout.

There has been continual demand by sportsmen that the South Umpqua Falls be supplied with fish ladders to permit safe ascent of sea-run species to spawning grounds above the falls. Study of this problem was undertaken as a definite part of the survey work described herein. The stream run and lake survey work was initiated by the Forest Service in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries during the summer of 1937. Emphasis was placed on the detailed studies relating to the physical and biological factors upon which it would be possible to recommend adequate stocking policies. No study of chemical conditions whatsoever was made for two reasons, first, lack of equipment prevented making gas analyses and, second, such studies seemed unnecessary by reason of the fact that there is no pollution present in the streams surveyed and all of them are well aerated, clean, rapid flowing mountain streams. Chemical conditions as shown by general observations were quite suitable and it is only whore natural or artificial pollutants occur in great abundance that chemical analyses would aid in determining tho basic effects of some of those fishes and their food organisms present in streams.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Upper Chewaucan Watershed Assessment Abstract -- Several assessment elements have good overall ratings and include the following: riparian vegetation/bank stability, Rosgen stream types, and pool numbers. However, the remaining elements need significant improvement to reach desired levels of high canopy coverage in forested sites, dense juniper woodlands, moderate road densities, lack of LWD, moderate to high stream temperatures, moderate to high spawning gravel fines, and culvert barriers. The less than desired conditions of these elements inhibit the Upper Chewaucan River Watershed from functioning appropriately as a redband trout reserve. As a result, this assessment element is functioning appropriately but-at-risk.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Middle Rogue Watershed Assessment Abstract -- The Middle Rogue Watershed (MRW) encompasses nearly 607 squarel miles in the northern portion of Josephine County in southern Oregon from the just below Kelsey Creek on the border of Curry and Josephine Counties to just below Evans Creek on the border of Josephine and Jackson Counties, excluding the Illinois and Applegate Watersheds. The area is mountainous and heavily forested with hot and dry summers and mide and wet winters. It is largely rural with one urban center, Grants Pass, and a number of small communities. In this assessment, we have divided the MRW into five subwatersheds: Grave Creek, Galice Creek, Jumpoff Joe Creek, Grants Pass and the Wild and Scenic watersheds.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Davis Lake Abstract -- Davis Lake is one of the most productive natural lakes in Oregon. It straddles the Deschutes-Klamath County line approximately 41 airline miles southwest of Bend and was formed when a geologically recent lava flow from Davis Mountain blocked the Odell Creek channel. The US Forest Service manages the land surrounding the lake and maintains the campgrounds. In September 1980, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to continue to manage Davis Lake for wild and hatchery fish.
