    Julia's Unequivocal Nevada Klampout #35 JARBIDGE clamper year 6019 Brought to you by Julia C. Bulette chapter 1864, E Clampus Vitus Researched and interpreted by Jeffrey D. Johnson XNGH, Clamphistorian at chapter 1864 Envisioned by Noble Grand Humbug Bob Stransky Dedicated to Young Golddigging Widders and Old Orphans 2014 c.e. Why Why yes, Jarbidge is a ''fer piece'' from any place. This year's junk trip has the unique quirk that it is not in the Great Basin like the rest of our territory. Northern Elko County is drained by the tributaries of the Owyhee, Bruneau and Jarbidge Rivers. They flow in to the Snake River and out to the sea. To the South the range is drained by the North Fork of the Humboldt and in the East, St. Mary's River. Geology The North American Continental plate moves at a rate of one inch a year in a Southwesterly direction. Underneath the plate is a volcanic hotspot or mantle plume. 10 to 12 million years ago the hotspot was just North of the Idaho border. Over that time it has moved, leaving a trail of volcanic debris and ejectamenta from McDermitt Nevada, East. Now the Yellowstone Caldera area is over the plume. During the middle and late Miocene, a sequence of ash flows, enormous lava flows and basalt flows from 40 odd shield volcanoes erupted from the Bruneau-Jarbidge caldera. The eruptive center has mostly been filled in by lava flows and lacustrine and fluvial sediments. Two hundred Rhinos, five different species of horse, three species of cameloids, saber tooth deer and other fauna at Ashfall Fossil Beds 1000 miles downwind to the East in Nebraska, were killed by volcanic ash from the Bruneau Jarbidge Caldera.

  • Bruneau River
    Bruneau River General Information The headwaters of the Bruneau River are in northeast Nevada on the Humbolt National Forest. The river flows northward into Idaho and eventually confluences with the Snake River. The study area includes two river reaches and is associated with U.S. Geological Survey gaging station (13161500), which is located about 0.5 mi. upstream from Rowland, Nevada. The site is at an elevation of about 4,500 ft. The drainage area upstream of the gage is 382 mi2 and the geology of the watershed is mixed with the dominant material being sedimentary and volcanic extrusive. Streamflow records are available from June 1, 1913 to September 30, 1918 and October 1, 1966 to present (Water Year 2012). Sediment transport measurements are available for water years 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002. Additional information collected includes a 1998 survey of a stream reach and pebble counts of the surface bed material in 1998 and 2000. Figures 1 and 2 show photographs of the reach surveyed in 1998. Figure 1. Bruneau River looking upstream from the downstream end of the surveyed reach. Figure 2. Bruneau River looking downstream from the upstream end of the surveyed reach. Streamflow records are available for 52 complete water years. The average 3 annual streamflow (Qa) for the period of record is 110 ft /s (3.8 in). During the period of record, daily mean discharges ranged from 1.7 ft3/s to 2,070 ft3/s. The highest instantaneous discharge recorded was 2,140 ft3/s on May 14, 1984. Page |2 Channel Profile and Cross-Section The surveyed river segment is about 890 ft.

  • Owyhee Monument Proposal Legacy Landscape
    Legacy Landscape O v e r v i e w Preface here the remote corners of Idaho, Oregon and Nevada come together lies one of the most unique and spectacular high desert areas remaining in the continental United WStates. This region, known as the Owyhee - Bruneau Canyonlands, represents one of the last best examples of the wide-open country which once characterized the American West. Consisting of high sagebrush and grassland plateaus incised by deep, sheer-walled river canyons and mountains dominated by juniper woodlands, the Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands stretch across an area twice the size of Yellowstone National Park. Home to some of the nation’s rarest fish, wildlife, and plant species, scientific assessments have rated the region one of the most bio- logically rich and diverse high deserts in the country. Humans have been part of the Owyhee country for over 15,000 years—resulting in the richest concentration of archaeological sites in Idaho. It is also one of the greatest contiguous landscapes of historical and cultural significance in the West. The unique geologic, biologic, and historic resources of the Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands lend the region to protection as a national monument under the Antiquities Act. This docu- ment was prepared to compile the wide range of scientific information identifying the national- ly significant values of this land and to put forth the argument for monument designation. Focusing on the geology, paleontology, landscape ecology, biology, archaeology, history, and cul- ture of the Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands, this document also presents a picture of the threats posed to these values and the landscape as a whole.

Draft Recovery Plan for the Jarbidge River Distinct Population Segment of Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) (May 2004) Region 1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon Approved: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Manager, California/Nevada Operations Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Date: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Draft Recovery Plan for the Jarbidge River Distinct Population Segment of Bull Trout DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions which are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and, in this case, with the assistance of recovery teams, State, Federal, and Tribal agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Director, Regional Director, or Manager, as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.

  • Jarbidge River
    Jarbidge river Date Early November, 2010 Time All Day Location The Jarbidge River, ID Weather Clear Fish Species Redband Trout? Size Range 8-10” a few to 12” Fish Caught As many as you want; a few fish from every hole Flies Used Wooly Buggers & dry flies; small gold spinner on a spin cast rod Techniques It didn’t matter Comments It felt like true wilderness in a scenic canyon that I suspect few have fished! The Jarbidge River in Southwest Idaho is truly remote and wild. In fact, many Idahoans have never heard the name let alone know where it is or how to get there. The canyonlands of the Owyhee, Bruneau & Jarbidge rivers along with Jacks Creek and a few other canyons were designated the Owyhee Canyonlands Wilderness just last year. It harbors rare species such as Bull Trout, Redband Trout, Bighorn Sheep, Sage Grouse and Monster Muley’s to mention a few. My brother Rick had planned to come up for the weekend to fish Steelhead in the Boise River but the release date got delayed. I told him to come up anyway to go on a fishing trip that he would never forget. I was itching to get one last adventure in before the snow flew and this was my perfect opportunity. My brother had the four-wheel drive truck and I had the long anticipated plan. There was an unbelievable break in the weather. The high country was frozen so I set my sights on a high desert river that I had never fished. The Jarbidge River harbors rare native Redband Trout and the possibility of endangered native Bull Trout, both of which Rick has never caught and why he drove from Utah to go fishing.
