Title:
O: 157 - Conduct Redd Counts In The Warm Springs River & Shitike Creek
Description:
Bull trout require cold water, complex instream habitat, and clean gravel for successful spawning. They spawn during the fall when the availability of cool water is limited in most streams. As a result, there is only a small amount of suitable spawning habitat available in most streams (Fraley and Shepard 1989). Identification and protection of spawning areas is crucial for preservation of this species.

Annual redd counts within index reaches are widely used to monitor trends in bull trout abundance throughout their range (Sanborn et al. 1998). Prior to establishing index reaches, basin-wide spawning surveys should be conducted to locate bull trout spawning areas. The surveys, repeated throughout the spawning period, are necessary to determine the specific locations, timing and duration of spawning. Information obtained from basin-wide surveys may be used to determine if a sub-sample of the known spawning habitat, i.e., index reaches, may be used to reliably monitor spawning abundance within a particular stream.
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Deliverable Specification:
Two-pass spawning ground surveys will be conducted in the Warm Springs River (two index reaches) and Shitike Creek (three index reaches) during October. The entire known spawning habitat will be surveyed in Warm Springs River (Rkm 52-58) and Shitike Creek (Rkm 30-44). Numbers of redds and spawn timing by reach in Warm Spring River and Shitike Creek will be determined.

A EC Environmental Compliance Requirements Complete 10/1/2011 10/1/2011 Concluded Nancy Weintraub (Inactive) 10/25/2011 3:06:08 PM
Description: On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff (completion can be based on pre-existing environmental documentation from BPA).
B Complete 2011 Redd Surveys In Warm Springs River & Shitike Creek 10/1/2011 10/31/2011 Concluded Jamie Cleveland (Inactive) 10/25/2011 4:53:07 PM
Description: Two-pass spawning ground surveys will be conducted in the Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek during October 2011. The entire known spawning habitat will be surveyed in Warm Springs River (Rkm 52-58) and Shitike Creek (Rkm 30-44). Within the total survey area, index reaches, established during 1998, will be surveyed. Surveys will be conducted at two week intervals up to three times throughout the majority of the spawning season. One or two surveyors will begin the surveys at the upstream end of the reach and walk downstream in or along-side the river channel sighting and recording redds. Flagging will be placed next to each bull trout redd to avoid double counting during later passes. Redds will tallied by stream and index reach. The presence of live adults and their approximate total lengths (cm) will be recorded. Water temperatures will be recorded during each survey.
C Redd Survey Data Management 11/1/2011 9/30/2012 Concluded Cyndi Baker (Inactive) 9/20/2011 12:54:59 PM
Description: After redd surveys are completed, data will be entered into a database.
D PUBPROTOCOL Review, Revise, & Publish Protocol, Study Design, & Methods In Monitoringmethods.org 6/30/2012 6/30/2012 Concluded Jamie Cleveland (Inactive) 10/4/2011 4:05:29 PM
Description: The Protocol (including temporal and spatial design) and Methods for this work element are stored at monitoringmethods.org and need to be finalized (i.e., "Published" through monitoringmethods.org), preferably prior to data collection. Preparations for contract renewals must include reviewing any previously published Protocols/Methods to ensure that they are consistent with how work will be done in any subsequent contract.
E DELIV Conduct Redd Counts 9/30/2012 Concluded Jamie Cleveland (Inactive) 10/26/2011 3:47:04 PM

The entire known spawning habitat will be surveyed in Warm Springs River (Rkm 52-58) and Shitike Creek (Rkm 30-44). Numbers of redds and spawn timing by reach in Warm Spring River and Shitike Creek will be determined.
