| Description | In 2010, the Washington State Department of Ecology conducted snorkel fish counts in a Nason Creek oxbow and two reference sites in the Wenatchee watershed. The project monitored salmonid population changes at the oxbow caused by reconnection to the mainstem through two fish passable culverts. Reconnection increased salmonid populations in the oxbow relative to the reference sites. Chinook salmon and whitefish populations increased the most. Oxbow steelhead trends were similar to the mainstem. Oxbow salmonid trends were not like the Chiwawa River reference site. We recommend other habitat reconnection projects to improve salmonid access to rearing habitat. |
