Description

Abstract: Early-returning coho salmon in the Sandy Subbasin are produced at the Sandy Hatchery and managed as a hatchery stock. They also produce naturally in numerous tributaries and the upper mainstern. Numbers for early-run coho that return to spawn naturally are represented best by Marmot Darn counts. Although some spawning habitat for coho exists below Marmot Darn, the optimum tributaries are above the darn in upper tributaries and side channels of the mainstem. Construction of Marmot Dam and the Bull Run Reservoir system has reduced the available habitat historically used by coho salmon. Although Marmot Darn is laddered, flows for many years after construction were not adequate to attract or allow passage above the dam. Minimum flow agreements now maintain flows adequate for fish passage and attraction. The Bull Run River remains blocked for anadrornous fish passage above the dam for Reservoir 2; the city of Portland mitigates for the loss of habitat by funding the release of juvenile fish elsewhere in the subbasin.
