DESCRIPTION
We completed our 14th season of monitoring for the Asotin Creek IMW under this project (2008-2021). Due to a large fire in Asotin Creek we were unable to complete a full summer fish survey and PIT tagging. We completed surveying in Charley Creek and then had to leave the study area until the fire was contained in late September so we were unable to survey North Fork and South Fork fish sites. However, all fish sites and streams were surveyed in the fall and we completed a complete annual rapid habitat survey in the fall as usual. Under project 17-1304 we were able to complete restoration maintenance this year on over 4km of restoration treatments, focusing on Charley Creek and North Fork Creek, and we updated the data summary and analysis of smolt and juvenile steelhead migration from the IMW tributaries. Temperature and discharge databases were also revised and updated and we began monitoring the North Fork discharge by re-occupying a decommissioned USGS discharge gage (USGS 1334450).
