vii STANDARDS USED ON STREAM DATA PAGE

Name of Stream: Name as given in Gazetteer of Canada, British Columbia 1966 edition; local or non-gazetted names are added in lower case type. Conservation District: As defined by the Conservation and Protection Service .. (April 1965).

Statistical Area: As defined by Department of the Environment, Fisheries Operations Statistical Map (January 1974).

Location and Position: Defined by quadrant indexing. Each geographical quadrilateral of the earth's surface of 1 degree in extent in latitude and longitude is divided into the SE, SW, NE and NW quarters. The south-east corner of each quadrilateral gives the initial point for the figure of reference (Gazetteer of Canada).

53° 53°

124° 123° 122°

Length: The portion of the stream accessible to spawning salmon.

Width: Average width, estimated to the nearest metre for the described length.

Drainage: Area in square kilometres of the entire drainage basin feeding the stream.

Composition:

Bedrock bedrock Boulder >256 mm Coarse 50.9 - 256 mm Fine 3.37 - 50.8 mm Sand & Silt <3.37 mm Unclassified where bottom cannot be observed, e.g. log jams, pools, water colour, etc.

Gradient: Expressed as a percentage

viii Wetted Area: Number of square metres of stream bed under water at average flows within the described length.

Spawning Area: Estimated square metres of stream bed suitable for salmon spawning within the described length.

Discharge: Mean annual discharge. Maximum and minimum values are either daily means or instantaneous discharges. The latter are identified by (Inst.). Discharge data is taken from "Historical Stream Flow Summary", British Columbia, Water Survey of Canada.

Temperature: As described. (OC)

Barriers and Points of Difficult Ascent: Complete and partial barriers to salmon and their distance from the stream mouth. Species likely to be affected may be listed. Both natural and man-made obstructions are defined.

Spawning Distribution: Portion of the stream utilized by each species. Distribution is indicated by brief comments opposite the species.

Potential of Inaccessible Portion of Stream: Indicates whether or not the inaccessible portion of the stream could be utilized by spawning salmon.

General Remarks: Emphasizes features of stream and spawning populations. Also includes industrial activity, routes of accessibility, etc. The comments with dates are taken from "Annual Reports of Salmon Streams & Spawning Grounds" (B.C. 16's). In some cases, references to additional information not included in the General Remarks may be given.

Escapement Records: The escapement represents the mid point of the coded range of escapement for each species. For example: the letter "H" representing 5000-10000 fish would be entered as 7500. Where absolute numbers are provided by Fisheries Personnel, these numbers are entered. N/O means the stream was inspected but no fish were observed; UNK means there was evidence of fish present but no estimates were made; NO RECORDS means no escapement records for the applicable years could be found in the escapement files.

Timing: Dates which salmon arrive in the stream, begin to spawn, reach peak spawning period and finish spawning.

E early (1st to 10th of the month) M mid (11th to 20th of the month) L late (21st t o end of the month)

NB: Distance references are from the mouth of the stream unless otherwise stated.

GENERAL REMARKS __~--~~~----~~~~--~--~--~--~~~~--~~~~~--~ -Logging in this watershed began in 1950 and continued until 1974. It is believed that in some years this has been the cause of extreme fluctuations in water level.

-A very poor escapement considering the size of the river(1975, 1977, 1978.) It has been sugge~ted that the poor productivity of the Bedwell River is due to the presence of unspecified mineral deposits.

GENERAL REMARKS 1969. Scuba divers report that they consider that some sockeye spawn at depths of 18 m along a short section of Hatchery Beaches. (1973 & 1974 reported spawning as deep as 24 m.} 1977. We anticipate a lake fertilization program comme ncing in the Clayoquot Arm portion of Kennedy Lake in 1978 to enhance sockeye fry rearing in this area. 1978. It is hoped that further fertilization be done in the spring. No logging should be permitted on the watershed above the Hatchery Beaches. -See General Remarks and References for Kennedy Lake. 23

It would appear that the coho run here was killed off during the logging of the right fork in 1964-65. The right fork" is improving and about 500 chum used it this season. 1977. Due to the destruction of this stream by logging in 1965, the chum run has been seriously reduced. 1978.

1973. The upper end of Thunderous Creek is in poor condition due to logging. 1974. The physical conditions of these streams will improve a s watersheds recover from clearcut 10 in ractises. 1977. Total sockeye run of fmtire Kennedy Lake system( including Clayoquot Arm estimated to be 55 - 60000, with a high proportion of males to females. 1978. The sockeye spawn only in areas where gravel size is correct and possible underground aquifers exist. 67

General Remarks(con't)

Kennedy Lake system -Due to the large drainage and high rainfall, seasonal fluctuations in the lake can be as large as .4 m. -94% of the sockeye run in Clayoquot Sound spawn in the Kennedy Lake system. (includes Clayoquot Arm and River) -Two runs of sockeye return to Kennedy Lake system. They school in the area between Indian Island and the mouth of Kennedy River before moving up the river. The early run enters the lake in June and spawns in Upper Kennedy River in the beginning of September. The late run enters the lake in August and September and spawns in Clayoquot River, Clayoquot Arm beaches and Kennedy Lake beaches in mid-November. Only the late run is exploited commercially. -Seals are common in Kennedy Lake and as many as 75 may be present during the 2 months the sockeye hold in the lake. An estimated loss of 4500 sockeye due to seal predation indicates that seals could have a significant effect on stocks.

The series of 4 falls make remedial action an expensive proposition. Coho rearing potential above the falls could be utilized by annual transplants of fry.

GENERAL REMARKS 1969. First falls may be passable to coho at high water levels. It has been reported that salmon have been seen many miles above the falls. It might be profitable t o have this river surveyed. 1974. A survey should be made of these falls to see if it is feasible to modify them sufficiently to enable sockeye and coho to gain access to the spawning grouhds above. 1976. Logging is now taking place. & -See Kennedy Lake General Remarks and References.

GENERAL REMARKS 1963. Two old dams at 0.8 km and 1.2 km were removed. 1966. Coho fry in the upper swamps and feeders are very abundant. An excellent rearing area. 1972. Logging of small feeder streams is having an adverse effect on coho . There was fry loss this season due to the feeG~rs becoming dry. When second growth takes hold this situation may impruve. 1977. This river is presently in very poor condi~ion due to logging. There is a great deal of debris and silt in the creekbed which could be improved by clearing. then adding gravel. This would make a good public involvement project as the streams' degeneration has created a lot cf local interest. 81

GENERAL REMARKS ~------~------~--~------~------~--- 1977. The Parks Branch is pres ently conducting a program .to clean out some of the old log jams in the upper reaches of the creek.

1978. A new bridge was completed in September 1978, replacing two 2 m in diameter culverts which were totally inadequate for salmon migration. The removal of the temporary culverts resulted in siltation which may have an adverse effect on fry emergence. 85 86

GENERAL REMARKS 1974. A number ~~~-~--~~~~-~----~--~~---~--~~------of these chum died prior to spawning due to prolonged low water conditions.

1978. This stream is well protected by forest cover and water flow is adequate for chum spawning. By midsummer this stream has very little water. Escapements to this stream have been in excess of 2000 chums, which indicates a possible over spawning. 89

GENERAL REMARKS 1977. An Ecological Reserve is being considered for portions of the Megin watershed. This would no doubt aid in the protection of fish habitat. (Mac-Blo is planning to commence logging in this watershed within the next few years. )

The Megin River and Megin Lake support a run of 2000-4000 sockeye that could perhaps be improved with lake enrichment.

GENERAL REMARKS 1967. A very swift stream. 1972. The heavy steelhead run may take a severe toll on any coho fry in the stream. • 1973. This is a very good stream above the rapids. There is no indication of coho fry in the summer but there are steelhead fry and all reports from sports fishermen show that there is a very good run of steelhead during winter and spring. 1978. Several kilometres of moderate flow and suitable gravel beds above the falls at 1.2 km. -Historically salmon ascended the 8 km to the upper falls, however more recent information indicates that most spawning takes place below falls at 1.2 km. 117
