Survey Method/Purpose

Fourth year of monitoring steelhead spawning in the Naches River Basin. In 2007, surveys were focused in the Little Naches River drainage, Nile Creek, and Oak Creek. These reaches had favorable water flows and clarity during the spawning period
Attempt to establish a long term data set of key spawning reaches and document any expansions in the steelhead spawning distribution
Multiple pass surveys in tributaries of the Naches River, and GPS redd locations
In 2007 two to four surveys were accomplished per reach between April 24 - May 30
High stream flows and limited personnel prevented surveys on Bumping and American Rivers and Rattlesnake Creek
