Description
Objectives of this fourth phase of Potlatch River Steelhead Monitoring and Evaluation project established and continue to establish baseline levels of steelhead production and productivity and provide an umbrella monitoring component to the numerous habitat restoration projects currently occurring within the drainage. In 2008, the project expanded the monitoring effort into both the upper and lower Potlatch River drainages. A total of 136 unique adult steelhead were captured during the 2008 field season. Of these fish, 61 were captured at lower Big Bear drainage weirs and 75 were captured at upper East Fork drainage weirs. The mark-recapture occurrences resulted in an adult steelhead escapement estimate into the Big Bear drainage (Big Bear and Little Bear Creeks) of 121 (95% CI 69-253) fish and 139 (95% CI 52 - 438) fish into the East Fork Potlatch River. An estimated 4,817 juveniles emigrated from the Bear Creek system, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 4,055 to 5,722. An estimated 6,979 juveniles emigrated from the East Fork Potlatch River system, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 3,574 to 12,074. The overall smolt arrival estimate to Lower Granite Dam from Big Bear Creek and the East Fork Potlatch River was 76 and 15% respectively (SE 0.07 and 0.03). A total of 68 snorkel sites were sampled throughout the Potlatch River drainage. Of those sites, 56 were randomly selected using the EMAP protocol and 12 sites, all occurring within the East Fork Potlatch River, were historic General Parr Monitoring (GPM) sites that are long term regional monitoring locations. Mean juvenile steelhead, predominately age-1 and age-2, and age-0 fry densities for the entire drainage were 3.44 and 2.00 fish / 100 m2 respectively (SE = 1.02 and 0.55). Expanding intensive and broad-scale monitoring techniques during the 2008 field season provided valuable information on steelhead production and productivity on a drainage-wide scale in the Potlatch River.
Funding for this project lasted longer than expected because this funding was supplemented with monies from a NOAA IMW contract that was also awarded in FY08. This allowed the project sponsor to use funding from this project to continue to operate adult steelhead weirs and juvenile fish screw traps into the 2009 field season.
Project Benefit
The monitoring and evaluation effort within the Potlatch River drainage is focused on the Snake River Basin ESU Steelhead. Information collected has and will redefined steelhead habitat. Knowledge of this population has and will expand our understanding of the conditions in which Potlatch River steelhead are able to persist. Data has and will be used to prioritize habitat enhancement activities and locations, assess water right applications and expand the awareness of protection of steelhead habitat within the Potlatch Rier drainage.

Description of monitoring | |
This project is designed to provide insight into Potlatch River steelhead production and productivity on a variety of scales, ranging from basin wide to individual stream reaches. From a basin wide perspective, findings from previous years of monitoring on the Potlatch River have already provided valuable insight for salmon and watershed programs within the basin. Data from this project has been used to direct habitat restoration efforts towards drainages with the most steelhead production potential. Furthermore, finding associated with this project have greatly expanded our understanding of steelhead life history and steelhead habitat within the Potlatch River. Areas that previously would have been considered unimportant habitat reaches are now being protected. The means by which in-stream work, water right applications, and steelhead bearing stream reaches are located and evaluated have changed since the inception of this work.
On a finer scale, this study will be able to detect changes in steelhead densities, survival, and productivity within individual reaches and tributaries within the Potlatch River. This provides an important monitoring component to the numerous habitat restoration projects currently on the ground within the drainage. The fact that infrastructure is already in place will allow the monitoring effort in the Potlatch River to adapt to projects as they come along. |

Description of monitoring | |
This project is designed to provide insight into Potlatch River steelhead production and productivity on a variety of scales, ranging from basin wide to individual stream reaches. From a basin wide perspective, findings from previous years of monitoring on the Potlatch River have already provided valuable insight for salmon and watershed programs within the basin. Data from this project has been used to direct habitat restoration efforts towards drainages with the most steelhead production potential. Furthermore, finding associated with this project have greatly expanded our understanding of steelhead life history and steelhead habitat within the Potlatch River. Areas that previously would have been considered unimportant habitat reaches are now being protected. The means by which in-stream work, water right applications, and steelhead bearing stream reaches are located and evaluated have changed since the inception of this work.
On a finer scale, this study will be able to detect changes in steelhead densities, survival, and productivity within individual reaches and tributaries within the Potlatch River. This provides an important monitoring component to the numerous habitat restoration projects currently on the ground within the drainage. The fact that infrastructure is already in place will allow the monitoring effort in the Potlatch River to adapt to projects as they come along. |
