Figure A.Susitna River drainage,1984.
The Alaska Power Authority (APA)proposes construction of two hydroelec-
tric dams at Watana and Devil Canyons on the upper Susitna River (Figure
A).The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G)has been contracted
by APA to assess the fi shery resources that mi ght be impacted by the
proposed hydroelectric project.The APA-ADF&G contract,initiated in
November 1980,is still in effect.
Thi sis one of a series of ADF&G reports for 1984 that wi 11 be submi tted
to APA.This document addresses the adult anadromous fish inves-
tigations contracted for the Susitna River open water period of May
through October,1984 and specifically covers the following Pacific
salmon species:
Pacific Salmon Oncorhynchus ~.
Chinook Salmon O.tshawytscha
Sockeye Sa lmon o.nerka
Pink Salmon O.gorbuscha
Chum Salmon O.keta

1.0 OBJECTIVES
The fourth consecutive year of study of the Susitna River adult salmon
populations in association with proposed hydroelectric development at
Watana and Devil Canyon was completed in 1984.The primary emphasis of
the 1984 study were to quantify mainstem escapements and to define
spawning locations.More expl ici tly,the objectives,by ri ver reach,
were:
A.Lower River (Intertidal at RM 0.0 to the Chulitna River
confluence at RM 98.6).
1.define the abundance,timing and stock characteristics of
sockeye,pink,chum and coho salmon escapements to the
Susitna River at Flathorn (RM 22)and Sunshine (RM 80)
stations and into the Yentna River (RM 28)at Yentna
Station (TRM 04);additionally,evaluate the same
parameters for chinook salmon at Sunshine Station;
2.define timing,distribution and extent of salmon spawning
in Susitna River slough,main channel,side channel and
stream mouth habitats upstream of Yentna River.
B.Middle River (Chul itna River confluence at RM 98.6 to upper
Devil Canyon at RM 161.0).
1.defjne the abundance,timing and stock characteristics of
chinook,sockeye,pink,chum and coho salmon escapements
to the Susitna River at Talkeetna (RM 103)and Curry (RM
120)stations;
2.define timing,distribution and extent of salmon spawning
in main channel,side channel,stream and slough
habitats;additionally,to determine the average resident
time (observed residence)of sockeye and chum salmon in
middle-reach sloughs.

2.1 Main Channel Escapement Monitoring
In 1984,salmon escapements were monitored at five mainstem locations on
the Susitna and Yentna rivers (Figure 1).In the lower Susitna River
reach,a tagging site was operated at Flathorn Station,a sonar site at
Yentna Station on the Yentna River and a second tagging site at Sunshine
Station between Montana Creek and the George Parks Highway bridge.In
the middle Susitna River reach,a tagging station was operated at
Ta "lkeetna Stati on and another at Curry Stati on.With the excepti on of
Flathorn Station,a new tagging site this year,the other four
monitoring stations were at the same river mile locations in 1984 as in
1981 through 1983.
The five lower-and middle-river escapement monitoring stations in 1984
were operated according to the schedule in Table 1.Flathorn and
Sunshine stations each had four fishwheels in operation.At Yentna
Station,two side scan sonars (SSS)and two fishwheels were run
concurrently.In the middle reach,four fishwheels at Talkeetna Station
and two fishwheels at Curry Station were used.The specific placement
sites of the 16 fishwheels and two sonars at the five sampling stations
can be found in Appendix 2.

Table 1.Operation schedules at main channel Susitna and Yentna
rivers escapement monitoring stations,1984.
The two sonars operated in 1984 at Yentna Station were 1980 Model Side
Scan Sonar Counters (Bendix Corporation).The sonar installation and
operating procedures were in accordance with the manufacturer1s
operational manual (Bendix Corporation 1980).Except for occasional

heavy-debris flow periods associated with extreme high water,the two
sonar counters at Yentna Station were run continuously,24 hours per
day,through the season.The two fishwheels,one near each sonar off
the north and south Yentna Ri ver banks,were operated a mi nimum of 12
hours daily during the season for apportioning the sonar counts by
species and for tag recovery data from Flathorn Station.Detailed sonar
monitoring and apportioning methodology is described by Barrett et al.
(1984)•
All fishwheels were designed by AOF&G Su Hydro staff (ADF&G 1981,1982).
The fishwheels at Flathorn,Sunshine,Talkeetna and Curry stations were
run 24 hours per day except for occasional down time for maintenance,
debris problems and high catches that exceeded manpower capabilities.
Each fi shwheel was checked four or more times daily.Salmon catches
were tagged and released,except for the following,which were not
tagged:
fish that visually appeared lethargic or stressed;
post-spawning condition fish;
fish previously tagged;
90%of the pink salmon at Flathorn and Sunshine stations,and
50%of the pink salmon caught at Talkeetna and Curry stations;
chinook salmon at Flathorn Station,and chinook salmon less
than 351 mm in fork length at the other three stations.
All recaptured fish were checked for species identification and tag
type,color and number before being released.
In 1984,two tag types were used.All chinook salmon were tagged with
Petersen discs.The other species were tagged with Floy FT-4 spaghetti
tags.The exception was at Curry Station where Petersen disc tags were
used for all species.A percentage of the tags used at all the tagging
stations were numbered to determine migrational travel time.The
methodolo~y used to implant the Petersen and spaghetti tags can be found
in AOF&G (1981).
At each sampling station on the Susitna and Yentna rivers,an age,fork
length and sex composition sample was collected daily for the following
number of each species regardless of size:
1.chinook salmon--30 consecutiv·ely caught fi sh,except at
Sunshine Station,where the sample was 30 consecutively caught
fish from both the east and west bank fishwheels;
2.sockeye salmon--30 consecutively caught fish,except at
Flathorn Station,where the sample was 30 consecutively caught
fish from both the east and west channels;
4
3.pink salmon--30 consecutively caught fish;
4.chum salmon--20 consecutively caught fish;
5.coho salmon--20 consecutively caught fish.
The procedures followed in 1984 for collecting salmon age,length and
sex samples can be found in ADF&G (1982).
On August 22,1984,25 cono salmon were collected at Sunshine Station
for a fecundity study.The collection procedures used for sampling
fecundity can be found in Barrett et.al.(1984).
2.2 Spawning Ground and Tag Recovery Surveys
Drainage-wide surveys of pre-selected chinook spawning areas were
conducted cooperatively by ADF&G Region II Sport Fish Division and ADF&G
Su Hydro.The surveyed areas have been routinely monitored for chinook
si nce 1976 (ADF&G 1981).The 1984 surveys were performed from hel i-
copter,fixed-wing airplane,raft and by foot,depending on access.
Between mi d-July and mi d-August,most lower-river areas were surveyed
once and most middle-river areas were surveyed twice.
The next two subsections outline additional 1984 salmon spawning ground
and tag recovery survey work by ADF&G Su Hydro staff,specific to river
reach.
2.2.1 Lower Reach
The mouths of lower-reach streams listed in Table 2 were surveyed weekly
for salmon presence (by foot.and occasionally by helicopter)from July
21 to October 7,1984.A II stream mouth"began at the confl uence and
extended one-third mile into the reach.

Mainstem and slough habitats above RM 28 were surveyed weekly from
August 21 to October 17 by helicopter.Suspected salmon-spawning areas
were checked by foot and boat between scheduled surveys and classified
as spawning areas if one or more of the following conditions were met:
1.visual identification of one or more actively mating pairs of
fish;
2.presence of one or more distinct redds;
3.confirmed presence of live eggs by intragravel sampling.
The mouths of the streams listed in Table 2,and confirmed mainstem and
slough salmon-spawning habitats in the lower reach were mapped and
described in terms of channel morphology,substrate composition and
ground water presence.
Preci se evaluations of substrates at stream mouths were performed as
time permitted using a McNeil sampler and sieves.Substrates were
sampled for eggs by excavation with a shovel or backpack-mounted
Homelite water pump and screen.
2.2.2 Middle Reach
Salmon-spawning surveys were conducted between July 21 and October 14.
Specific chinook surveys were made between July 21 and August 18 of all
suspected middle-reach spawning streams.Each stream was generally
surveyed twice by helicopter or on foot to the upper limit of fish
migration.
All sloughs and streams of suspected adult salmon use were surveyed
weekly from August 6 to October 11.Sloughs were surveyed on foot over
their entire distance,and streams to standard index markers.
Exceptions were Indian River (RM 138.6)and Portage Creek (RM 148.9),in
which the entire reaches accessible to salmon were surveyed.Three
streams located in Devil Canyon:Cheechako Creek (RM 152.4),Chinook
Creek (RM 157.0)and Devil Creek (RM 161.0)were similary surveyed.
Observed residence data was taken for chum and sockeye at three-day
intervals from slou;hs Moose (RM 123.5),AI (RM 124.6),8A (RM 125.1)
and 11 (RM 135.3).Observers used polarized glasses and polarized 7 x
35 Bushnell binoculars to detect and identify tagged chum and sockeye
from Curry Station.Observers recorded sighting date,tag number,
species,location in the slough and activity of each tagged salmon.
Main channels and side channels were surveyed weekly by helicopter fr0m
August 27 to October 13.Criteria presented in Section 2.2.1 were used
to identify spawning sites.
Tag recovery surveys were conducted in conjunction with spawning ground
surveys by recordi ng numbers of 1i ve tagged and untagged fi sh of each
species.
6
Egg retention sampling of sockeye and chum salmon carcasses was
conducted at sloughs during escapement surveys.The sample size was
based on fish availability and time.An incision was made in the
abdomen of each fish and retained eggs were counted by hand.
2.3 Data Analysis
2.3.1 Escapement 'Monitoring by SSS Counter
The SSS counters operated at Yentna Stati on had a counti ng 'range of 60
feet,which was divided into 12 equal sectors.Counts for individual
sectors were reg;stered hourly on a pri nter.The printer tapes were
edited in the field and rechecked in the office to eliminate debris
counts (Barrett et al.1984).
The daily fish counts by each SSS counter at Yentna Station were
apportioned by species based on the composition of the catch by the
fishwheel operating on the same day off the same bank.When the daily
fishwheel catch was less than 150 fish,the SSS counts were apportioned
according to the cumulative fishwheel catch for the succeeding number of
days required to reach a 150 fish threshold catch sample.
2.3.2 Tag and Recapture Estimates
Salmon escapements to Flathorn,Sunshine,Talkeetna and Curry stations
were estimated using the modified Petersen model by Ricker (1975).The
exception was for jack chinook salmon measuring less than 351 mm.
Barrett et al.(1984)discuss the procedure for calculating the jack
chinook salmon escapements,the assumptions and suitability of the
Petersen model and the calculation of the associated 95 percent
confidence limits.
2.3.3 Escapement Timing
Salmon escapement timings were calculated for each species by station
based on fishwheel catches.Species migration at a sampling station was
defined to have started,reached a midpoint and ended on the date when
5,50 and 95 percent of the cumulative station fishwheel catch-per-unit-
effort (CPUE)was attained.
Escapement timings by salmon species are presented graphically as
fishwheel CPUE curves,smoothed by the von Hann linear filter method
(BMDP 1981).
2.3.4 Age Samples
•.T
Standard scale analysis techniques (Clutter and Whitesel 1956)were
used to determine the ages of migrating salmon.The Gilbert-Rich
notation is used to describe salmon ages.
2.3.5 Slough Escapements
Sockeye and chum ,salmon escapements to individual sloughs above RM 98.6
were calculated using spawner abundance data adjusted by average fish

-observed residence (Cousens et ale 1982).Two exceptions to this method
were:1)when a peak escapement count for a slough was less than 15
live and dead fish and 2)when only one spawning ground survey was made.
Total slough escapements in these cases were calculated using the
following formula:
Ax=B (T)
-
where x =estimated escapement of Slough x
A =sum of escapements to all sloughs having peak counts
~50 fish
B =sum of peak counts of all sloughs having peak counts
250 fish
T =single highest fish count at Slough x.
-
-
Pink salmon escapements to sloughs above RM 98.6 were adjusted by
multi plyi ng the peak 1ive and dead survey counts by a factor of 1.2.
This correction factor assumes that 80 to 90 percent of the spawning
population was present at the peak of the escapement count (Cousens et
a 1.1982).

3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In 1984,the Susitna River supported an escapement of at least 5.4
million salmon,determined from Petersen estimates of sockeye,pink,
chum and coho salmon reaching Flathorn Station and chinook salmon
reaching Sunshine Station.The species composition was about 2 percent
chi nook,11 percent sockeye,68 percent pi nk,15 percent chum and 4
percent coho salmon.
The following subsections of this report will address the 1984 salmon
migrations past five mainstem locations on the Susitna and Yentna rivers
(Figure 1),and define where spawning occurred,emphasizing the Susitna
River from the Yentna River to upper Devil Canyon.The reader will find
the subsections formatted by species order and Susitna River reach.The
species order is:chinook,sockeye,pink,chum and coho salmon.The
river division is:lower reach and middle reach.
3.1 Chinook Salmon
3.1.1 Lower Reach
3.1.1.1 Main Channel Escapements
In 1984,chinook salmon were intercepted late in the migration at
Flathorn and Yentna stations.Monitoring operations commenced at those
locations on June 29 and July 1,respectively.Historically most of the
chinook salmon escapement has al ready moved through the Susitna River
lower reach by these dates (ADF&G 1982).Chinook salmon daily fishwheel
catches at Fl athorn and Yentna stations are 1i sted in Appendi x Tables
3-3 and 3-6.Chinook salmon SSS counts for Yentna Station ar.e in
Appendix Tables 4-1 and 4-2.
An estimated 121,700 chinook salmon reached Sunshine Station in 1984
(Figure 2 and Table 3).Less than four percent of those fish were jack
salmon 350 mm or smaller (Table 4)and the remainder (96%)were chinook
salmon over 350 mm (Table 5)•.
Fishwheels at Sunshine Station intercepted 7,550 chinook salmon in 1984
(Table 6).Based on these catches,migration there began on June 9,
reached a midpoint on June 21,and ended on July 6 (Appendix Table
3-11).Migration began and ended about four days earlier on the west
side than the east side,based on differences in east and west bank
fishwheel catches.
At Sunshine Station most chinook going to the Chulitna River migrated
along the west bank.Most of those going to the Talkeetna River passed
Sunshine along the east bank.Middle Susitna River populations ran in
about even numbers along both banks (Figure 3).These migrational
differences were determined by comparing the ratios of east-tagged to
west-tagged fish from Sunshine that later were found in the Chulitna and
Talkeetna drainages and in the middle Susitna River (Appendix Table
6-4).

Chinook salmon fishwheel catches at Sunshine Station are plotted in
Figure 4.The curves generally reflect a bell-curve distribution,
except for a six-day low period from June 13 through 19.River dis-
charge levels during that period fluctuated dramatically from 54,000 cfs
(June 13)to 93,000 cfs {June 17}to 71,000 cfs (June 19)(Figure 5).
The reduced catch was probably due to those flow changes.In other
studies,salmon responded to high water events by reducing their
migration speed (ADF&G 1981 and Barrett et ale 1984).

Figure 5.Provisional USGS discharge data for station No.15292780 from
May 15 through September,1984.
Length,age and sex information collected from a sample of the chinook
salmon escapement at Sunshine Station are summarized in Tables 7,8 and
9 and Figure 6.Based on scale analysis,the 1984 escapement at Sun-
shine Station was comprised of three-to seven-year-old fish.The
largest component was five-year-old fish (38%)(1979 parent-yea~
escapement),followed by six-year-olds (34%).The average chinook
salmon length at Sunshine Station was 765 mm (Appendix Figure 5-1).
Males averaged 150 mm shorter than females due to a higher percentage of
males in the younger age classes (Table 7).Overall at Sunshine
Station,males were equally as abundant as females (Table 9).However
males were more abundant among the three-and four-year-olds,and
females were more numerous in older age classes.
3.1.1.2 Spawning Areas
In 1984,there was no evidence of chinook salmon spawning in the lower-
river mainstem above the Susitna/Yentna River confluence (Appendix 1).
Mainstem surveys were performed from August 21 through October 17,which
was well after the peak spawning occurred in local streams.Addition-
ally,fish-tagging crews at Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations in
June,July and early August saw no evidence of chinook spawning such as
repeated surfacing of ripe fish or carcasses on gravel bars and shoals
not related to washouts from known spawning streams.

Figure 6.Age composition of fishwheel intercepted chinook salmon
weighted by CPUE at Sunshine,Talkeetna and Curry stations,
1984.
There was no indication that stream mouths or sloughs in the lower reach
served as spawning areas for chinook.These areas were surveyed weekly
from July 21 to October 21 (Appendix 1).
3.1.2 Middle Reach
3.1.2.1 Main Channel Escapements
In 1984,the chinook salmon escapement to the middle reach was an
estimated 24,800 fish at Talkeetna Station and 18,000 fish at Curry
Station (Tables 4 and 5).About one percent of the Talkeetna chinooks
were jacks (~350 mm).At Curry,four percent were jacks.Approxi-
mately 45 percent and 24 percent,respectively,of the escapements
reaching those stations were milling fish that returned downstream and
spawned.These percentages were determined by spawning ground counts
conducted above the two stations (Section 3.1.2.2).Most of the chinook
salmon that milled to Talkeetna and Curry stations subsequently spawned
in the Talkeetna and Chulitna river systems (Appendix Table 6-4).
Chinook salmon were abundant in the middle-reach mainstem for about 25
days in 1984.At Talkeetna Station,migration began on June 15 and
-
18
-
ended on July 12,with a mi dpoint on June 26 (Appendix Tabl e 3-14).
Migration at Curry Station began on June 19,reached a midpoint on June
25 and ended on July 13.
A plot of daily fishwheel catches at Talkeetna and Curry stations
(Figure 7)indicates that there was a surge in chinook at those stations
around June 19,1984.The increase in fish numbers can be attributed to
a flow change in the Susitna River.On June 16,river flow at the USGS
station at Gold Creek increased 9,400 cfs over the previous day to
40,600 cfs and continued to rise.On June 17,the flow peaked at 52,000
cfs.By June 19 the flow had receded to 33,600 cfs (Figure 8).At
Talkeetna and Curry stations,fishwheel catches were relatively weak at
about 0.4 fish per wheel per hour during the high flow event.When the
flow decreased to near pre-flood levels,catches increased to about 1.6
fish per wheel per hour.

In 1984,chinook salmon were slightly more abundant along the east side
of the river at Tal keetna and Curry stations than along the west side
(Appendix 3).At Talkeetna Stption,the fishwheels caught 3,407
chinook,57 percent in the east bank wheels and 43 percent in the west
bank wheels.At Curry Station,1,589 chinook were caught,54 percent in
the east bank wheels and 46 percent in the west bank wheels.
The 1984 migrational rates of tagged chinook salmon between Sunshine,
Talkeetna and Curry stations are presented in Appendix 3 and summarized

The 1984 chinook escapement at Talkeetna Station was comprised of three-
to seven-year-old fish (Table 8).The majority were five-and six-year-
olds.Average c.hinook length at Talkeetna Station in 1984 was 816 mm
(Appendix Figure 5-2).Males averaged 90 mm shorter than females.
Overall,male and female chinook were about equally abundant (1.1:1)at
Talkeetna Station.However,males were more abundant than females among
the three-and four-year-ol ds but 1ess abundant among the five-to
seven-year-olds.
At Curry Station,the 1984 chinook escapement was also comprised of
three-to seven-year-old fish (Table 8).Five-and six-year-olds were
dominant.The average length was 801 mm (Appendix Figure 5-3).Females
averaged 140 ~n longer than males (Appendix Figure 5-3).Overall,males
were more abundant than females (1.2:1).Males were more numerous in
the three-and four-year-old age classes,but less numerous in the five-
to seven-year-old age classes.

3.1.2.2 Spawning Areas
In 1984,no chinook spawning was found in the middle-reach mainstem.
Several chinook salmon carcasses were found on gravel bars in the
mainstem in early August,but all were considered to be fish that washed
out from nearby spawning streams.
Chinook did not use middle-reach sloughs for spawning or milling in 1984
(Appendix 6).However,12 streams were used (Table 10).Nearly all the
fish (96%)were found in Indian River and Portage Creek (Figure 10).
Surveys of those two streams indicated that spawning commenced prior to
July 25 and was completed by the end of August,with a peak the last
week in July and the first week in August (Figures 11 and 12).

Chinook salmon spawning occurred at the mouths of Indian River,Portage
Creek,Fourth of July Creek and Whiskers Creek in 1984 (Appendix 6).In
Portage and Fourth of July creeks,spawning was about evenly distributed
to the upper limit of migration.At Indian River,most of the spawning
occurred in the first two miles from the mouth.At Whiskers Creek,
nearly all chinook spawned at the mouth.
Spawning in middle-reach streams occurred from mid-July to mid-August
(Appendix 6).The peak spawning occurred in the last week of July.
In 1984,approximately 13,800 chinook salmon spawned in the middle
reach,assuming that all spawning areas were surveyed and that a peak
stream count represented about 52 percent of the spawning population

(Neilsen and Green 1981).About 44 and 23 percent of the respective
Talkeetna and Curry stations escapements were milling fish that returned
downstream to spawn,based on the above estimate of spawners in the
middle reach.
3.1.3 Escapement Index Surveys
Fourteen index streams in the Susitna River basin were surveyed in 1984
for chinook salmon (Table 11 and Figure 13).Based on those surveys,
the escapement was well within or slightly above the escapement average
for the past eight years (Table 12).The escapement on the west side of
the Susitna River drainage,below the Chulitna River confluence,was
lower than the eight-year average.All other subreaches supported
higher escapements than in previous years from 1976 to 1983.
3.2 Sockeye-Salmon
3.2.1 First-Run
One confi rmed and another suspected popul ation of fi rst-run sockeye
salmon passes through the lower Susitna River reach each year between
late May and mid-June.The confirmed population migrates past Sunshine
Station and spawns in the Talkeetna River drainage in the Papa Bear Lake
system (Figure 14).(ADF&G 1983).A second population may utilize the
Fish Lake Creek system in the Yentna River drainage (unpublished report,
Barrett 1973)(Figure 15).With the exception of a few milling fish,
first-run sockeye salmon do not enter or spawn in the middle reach of
the $usitna River (Barrett et al.1984).

Yentna Station on the Yentna River was not operational early enough in
1982 to monitor first-run escapement.Sunshine Station was operational
on June 4 in time to monitor the escapement into the Talkeetna River
system.The escapement to Sunshine Station was approximately 4,800
sockeye (Table 13).

1 Migration period of first-run sockeye salmon extended from June 4
through June 22,1984.
30
The four fishwheels at Sunshine Station caught approximately 500 first-
run sockeye in 1984 (Table 13).Based on an analysis of the catch,the
migration began on June 4,reached midpoint on June 10 and was over by
June 22 (Appendix Table 3-11).The peak migration occurred on June 9
with an average catch per wheel hour of 0.6 fish.
At Sunshine Station,the migration of first-run fish was concentrated on
the east bank with the two east bank wheel s catching 99 percent of the
fish in 1984 (Appendix Table 3-7).
First-run sockeye salmon were sampled at Sunshine Station to determine
representative escapement age,1ength and sex compositi on (Tabl e 14).
Nearly the entire 1984 escapement (96%)was five-year-old fish (1979
brood year)(Table 15).The remainder of the escapement (4%)included
four-and six-year-old fish.Most of the returning first-run sockeye
salmon had spent one winter in freshwater before entering the marine
environment.The average length was 531 mm (Appendix Figure 5-6).
Ma 1es averaged 34 mm longer than fema 1es.Overall,males were 1es s
numerous than females (0.5:1)(Table 16).
3.2.1.1.2 Spawning Areas
The first-run sockeye salmon that migrated past Sunshine Station in
early June 1984 spawned in the inlet stream of Papa Bear Lake.The
spawning extended from the creek mouth upstream about 1.5 miles and took
place mainly over the last three weeks of July.Spawning probably
peaked July 20.These fi ndi ngs are based on two escapement surveys
conducted on July 14 and 26 (Table 17).On the first date,there were
about 1,500 sockeye in Papa Bear Inlet stream that were just beginning
to spawn and another 500 to 1,000 fish holding off the creek mouth in
Papa Bear Lake.There were no sockeye carcasses in the creek other than
several bear-killed fish.On the second date,most of the fish in the
creek were in post-spawning condition,and there were no sockeye salmon
observed holding off the stream mouth.

The results of tag recovery surveys for fi rst-run sockeye salmon are
listed in Table 17.About 9 percent of the 1,536 fish observed on the
July 14 survey of Papa Bear Lake inlet stream were tagged,compared to
17 percent of the 432 fish counted on the last survey (July 26).These
figures indicate that the first-run migration at Sunshine Station began
a few days before tagging operations started,or that the fishwheels at
Sunshine were more efficient at the end of the migration than at the
beginning.The daily fishwheel catches at Sunshine Station support the
conclusion that some first-run fish passed there prior to the beginning
of site operations on June 4.Inasmuch as the fi rst-run escapement
spawned over a relatively short time period (three weeks),and the two
escapement surveys were random,the Petersen method is still appropriate
for calculating the escapement,even though some early migrants were not
intercepted.
3.2.2 Second Run
3.2.2.1 Lower Reach
3.2.2.1.1 Main Channel Escapements
In 1984,'second-run escapements were monitored at three locations in the
lower-river reach.At the lowest downstream sampling site,Flathorn
Station,the escapement was about 605,800 fish (Table 18 and Figure
16).Not all of those fi sh spawned above Fl athorn,based on reported
milling behavior of sockeye at other locations.Stocks destined to
Alexander Lake and the Flathorn Lake drainages probably milled in the
lower reach up to and beyond the Fl athorn fi shwhee 1s•However,no
spawning surveys were performed below Flathorn,and therefore it is not
possible to quantify the level of milling.For these reasons,the
estimated escapement of 605,800 sockeye to Fl athorn Stati on shoul d be
considered an estimate of fish that reached this location,and not the
number of fish which spawned upstream of this location.

2 Sockeye salmon escapement estimate for Sunshine Station does not
include the population estimate for first-run sockeye.
Yentna Station escapement was approximately 149,000 sockeye,represent-
ing 25 percent of the escapement to Flathorn Station (Table 19).An
estimated 130,100 sockeye,or 21 percent of the Fl athorn escapement,
reached Sunshine Station (Table 18).Based on the estimated escapements
to Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations,roughly 300,000 sockeye
spawned in areas of the Susitna River basin between RM a and Sunshine
Station,excluding the Yentna River drainage.The four known sockeye
spawning systems below Sunshine excluding the Yentna River are defined
in Figure 17.Of these,the Fish Creek drainage is probably the most
product i ve based on previ ous surveys (ADF&G 1982).Alexander Creek,
Deshka River and Whitsol Lake drainages are minor sockeye salmon-
producing systems (pers.comm.K.Delaney).

The migrational timing of the 1984 second-run escapements in the lower
Susitna River reach can be determined by station fishwheel catches
(Figures 18 and 19).At Flathorn Station,the migration extended from
July 16 to August 9,with a midpoint around July 21.There was no
di fference in the escapement timi ng between fi sh mi grati ng in the east
and west channels at Flathorn.At Yentna Station,the second-run
escapement migration began on July 17,reached a midpoint on July 22 and
ended on August 8.These dates were about one day 1ater than at
Flathorn Station (Figure 18).At Sunshine Station,the sockeye
migration extended from July 20 through August 5.The midpoint occurred
on July 24,just four days after the start (Figure 19).

Sockeye salmon tagged at F1.athorn Station were recaptured at upriver
sampling stations on the mainstem of the Yentna and Susitna rivers.The
results are presented in Appendix 6 and summarized in Figure 20.The
data indicate that most tagged sockeye salmon migrated the 10 miles
between Flathorn and Yentna stations in three days (3.3 mpd)and the 58
miles from Flathorn to Sunshine stations in eight days (7.3 mpd).The
difference in these migration rates may have been caused by temporary
tagging stress and/or more milling by sockeye salmon in the reach
between Flathorn and Yentna stations than in the reach between Fl athorn
and Sunshine stations.The latter seems most likely~based on the
similar migration rates observed in the middle reach (Figure 20).

The fishwheel catches of second-run sockeye salmon at Flathorn,Yentna
and Sunshine stations are listed in Table 6.The catches between those
stations are not directly comparable because the catch efficiencies
vari ed due to site di fference and becau'se two more wheel s were operated
at Flathorn and Sunshine stations than at Yentna Station.Physical
factors affecting fishwheel catches included nearshore water velocities,
channel configuration,bank slope and bed material.
Catch differences between station fishwheels can indicate fish migration
preferences.At Flathorn Station,sockeye sa.lmon slightly favored the
west channel over the east channel for migration.The west fishwheels
intercepted 55 percent of the station sockeye catch,the east fishwheels
45 percent (Appendix Tables 3-1 and 3-2,and Figure 21).

At Yentna Station,sockeye salmon favored the south bank over the north
bank for migration.The south bank fishwheel caught 92 percent of the
station catch and the north bank fishwheel made eight percent of the
catch.The same trend was observed wi th·the SSS counters at Yentna
Station.About 95 percent of the apportioned sockeye salmon counts were
logged by the south bank counter.At Sunshi ne Stati on,most of the
sockeye migrated along the east bank.The east bank fishwheels caught
77 percent of the station catch while 23 percent was taken in the west
bank fishwheels.

Tagged sockeye salmon released in the east and west channels of Flathorn
Station were recaptured at Yentna,Sunshine,Talkeetna and Curry
stations (Table 20).The recapture information indicated 73 percent of
the sockeye salmon enteri ng the Yentna Ri ver mi grated past Fl athorn
Station in the east channel.

Sockeye salmon extending to Sunshine Station and above also preferred
the east channel at Fl athorn Stat i on.About 96 percent of the tag
numbered recaptures were releases from the east channel fishwheels
compared to about four percent from the west channel wheels.Around 90
percent of the sockeye salmon which did not enter either the Yentna
River or migrate to Sunshine Station reached Flathorn Station via the
west channel.Most of these fish may have been destined to the Flathorn
Lake drainage as previously discussed.
Representative age,length and sex samples were collected from the 1984
sockeye salmon escapements to Fl athorn,Yentna and Sunshi ne stations.
Most of the lower-reach escapement were four-and five-year-old fish
(Figure 22).Nearly all had spent one winter in freshwater before
entering the sea.Lengths at Flathorn averaged 519 mm,at Yentna 535 mm
and at Sunshine 512 mm (Appendix Figures 5-4,5-5 and 5-7).The longer
average at Yentna Station was due to a larger return of five-year-olds
to the Yentna River than to the other stations.At all stations,males
averaged from three to 30 mm longer than females.Males were slightly
less abundant than females at Yentna (0.9:1)and Sunshine (0.7:1),but
more abundant at Flathorn (1.5:1)(Table 16).

3.2.2.1.2 Spawning Areas
In the lower Susitna River above the Yentna River confluence,sockeye
salmon did not spawn in the mainstem or associated sloughs or in any
stream mouths in 1984 (Appendix 1).
3.2.2.2 Middle Reach
3.2.2.2.1 Main Channel Escapements
Middle-reach sockeye escapements to Talkeetna and Curry stations in 1984
were approximately 13,100 fish and 3,600 fish respectively (Table 18).
However,not all of these fish remained in the middle reach to spawn.
About 83 percent of the escapement to Talkeetna Station were milling
fish that spawned in the lower Susitna reach.At Curry Station,35
percent of the escapement were milling fish.
In 1984,second-run sockeye were abundant in the Susitna River mainstem
for three to five weeks,based on fi shwheel catches at Talkeetna and
Curry stations (Figure 23).At Talkeetna Station,migration began July
22,reached a midpoint July 28,and ceased August 12.At Curry Station,
the migration period was 13 days longer,beginning July 22,reaching a
midpoint August 1,and ending August 25.
Migrational rates of tagged sockeye salmon recovered in the lower and
middle reaches are summarized in Figure 20.The data indicated that
these fish migrated much more slowly in the lower reach.The slower
rate of travel may have been associated with milling at the mouths of
the Yentna,Talkeetna and Chulitna rivers.In the middle reach,there
are no such glacial tributaries.
An inseason catch reduction occurred at Talkeetna and Curry stations
that may have been related to a flow change in the Susitna River.At
Talkeetna Station between July 26 and 27,sockeye salmon catches dropped
from a high of 1.2 fish per fishwheel hour (CPUE)to 0.2 CPUE and then
climbed again to 0.9 CPUE on July 28 (Figure 23).This coincided with a
high water event when mainstem discharge measurements at Gold Creek
increased from 22,800 cfs on July 25 to 34,200 cfs on July 27 and then
declined and remained stable around 24,000 cfs for the next two weeks
(USGS provisional data 1984)(Figure 8).The fishwheel catches also
changed at Curry Station at about the same time,but less dramatically.
On July 26,the CPUE was 0.6;for the next two days catches dropped 50
percent to 0.3 CPUE,and then rose again to 0.6 CPUE on July 29 as high
flows subsided (Appendix Table 3-17).
The migrational rates of second-run sockeye salmon between Sunshine,
Talkeetna and Curry stations were determined from tag recaptures (Figure
20).Migrational speeds between Sunshine and Talkeetna stations were
about 50 percent slower than between Talkeetna and Curry stations (8.5
mpd).The slower rates may have been related to milling at the conflu-
ence of the Talkeetna,Chulitna and Susitna rivers.
A representative age,length and sex composition sample was collected
from second-run sockeye salmon intercepted by fishwheels at Talkeetna

and Curry stations.The data indicated that the Talkeetna Station
escapement was predominantly four-(84%)and five-(15%)year-old fish
(Table 15).About 92 percent of the four-and five-year-01d fish had
smo1ted in their second year of life following completion of one winter
in freshwater as fry.The same trend was apparent at Curry Station.
Four-year-01ds represented 73 percent and five-year-01ds 22 percent of
-the escapement population.About 82 percent of the four-and five-year-
old fish reaching Curry Station had smolted in their second year.
Three-and six-year-01d sockeye salmon represented less than five
percent of the escapement populations to Talkeetna and Curry stations.
The average length of second-run sockeye salmon at Talkeetna Station was
513 rom and at Curry Station 495 rom (Appendix Figures 5-9 and 5-10).
Generally among all age classes sampled at Talkeetna Station~males
averaged about 20 mm longer than the females (Table 14).At Curry
Station ~the males averaged about 40 rnm shorter.Sex composi ti on data
indicated that males were less numerous at Talkeetna Station than
females (0.7:1)but more numerous than females at Curry Station (1.4:1)
(Table 16).
3.2.2.2.2 Spawning Areas
In the middle reach,sockeye salmon spawned in the mainstem and several
associated sloughs.Seven mainstem spawning sites were identified,all
of which were in an area upstream of Curry Station between RM 131.0
and 141.6 (Figure 24).Individual maps of these locations are in
Appendix 6.Four of the seven mainstem areas were in Side Channel 11
(RM 134.5 to 135.3)which ;s immediately below Slough 11,the major
sockeye spawning area in the middle reach.All spawning observed in the
mainstem was in the last two weeks of September but peak spawning was
probably in mid-September (Figure 24).
About 100 sockeye salmon spawned in the middle-reach mainstem in 1984.
This estimate is based on the assumption that the single highest fish
count (33)of all mainstem spawning areas represented about one-third of
the spawning population.At sloughs,a peak count represents about
one-half of the spawners (Barrett et a1.1984).A peak count was not
confirmed for the mainstem spawning areas due to high flow and
turbidity.Therefore it was assumed that the single highest fish count
was less than one-half of the spawning population and probaby near the
one-third level.
Two streams in the middle reach had sockeye salmon present in 1984
(Appendix Table 6-2).These were Indian River and Portage Creek.
Respective peak counts were 1 and 12 fish.Spawning was only observed
in Portage Creek at its c~nf1uence with the Susitna River.The sighting
was limited to a pair of sockeye occupying a redd on September 2.
A total of 25 sockeye salmon occupied middle-reach stream habitats,
assuming that the peak count (13 fish)represented about one-half of the
population (Barrett et al.1984).This estimate ;s probably 1iberal
because some of the fish may have been milling and there was only one
observation of spawning.
Eighteen sloughs in the middle reach were occupied by sockeye (Table
21).Thirteen of those were spawning areas.The three major spawning
sloughs,in order of importance,were:11,8A and 21 (Figure 25).

Sloughs 5,8,88,9 and 15 were occupied,but were not spawning areas as
no redds or spawning pairs were observed.The peak survey counts of
1i ve and dead sockeye salmon for the 18 occupi ed sloughs totaled 926
fish.Sloughs 8A,11 and 21 supported about 88 percent of the peak
counts.Spawni ng occurred in these sloughs from the fi r.st week of
August through the first week of October.The peak of spawning for
sockeye in sloughs occurred between the last week of August and the
second week of September (Figure J26).Based on results of spawni ng
ground counts and observed residence surveys,the total escapement to
middle-reach sloughs was about 2,200 sockeye (Table 22).
From a combined estimate of.2,325 sockeye that spawned in middle-reach
streams (1%),slough (95%)and mainstem (4%)habitats,it was determined
that most (82%)of the 1984 sockeye escapement to Talkeetna Station were
mill i"g fish,and that most (65%)of the sockeye that reached Curry
Station were middle-reach spawners.There was more milling at Talkeetna
Station than at Cur~1 Station among other salmon species also (Section
4.0).
In 1984,the mean average observed residence of sockeye salmon in
Sloughs 8A and 11 was 8.4 days (Figure 27).Considerable differences
existed in the observed-residence periods of individual fish at both
sloughs,evident from the large standard deviations of the means.The
main cause was probably milling.Approximately 42 percent of the 131
fish monitored at the two sloughs did not initiate spawning (Table 23).

Presumably many left to spawn in other systems and some may have been-
removed by predators.
Sockeye seemed to prefer to spawn in the upper areas of sloughs •.The
highest concentration of observed-residence monitored fish spawned at
the head of Sloughs 8A and 11.By comparison,chum salmon preferred the
lower areas (Section 3.4).
~tost of the sockeye enteri n9 mi ddl e-ri ver sloughs in 1984 spent several
weeks ripening in the Susitna River main channel.Fish monitored at
Sloughs 8A and 11 for observed residence averaged 36 days from release
at Curry Station to slough entrance (Figure 28).The distances from
Curry to Sloughs 8A and 11 are 5.1 and 15.3 miles respectively.Since
sockeye migrated at an average speed of 7 mpd between Flathorn and Curry
stations,they could easily have traveled from Curry to the sloughs in
two days (Figure 20).
There are several possible advantages to ripening in the mainstem rather
than in an associated slough.For example,the middle-reach sloughs are
relatively small and shallow and non-turbid,making predation a greater
factor than in the main channel.Also,sloughs serve as a spawning area
for more than one species.Consequently,crowding and associated
disease problems would be more prevalent in sloughs than in the main
channel.In drainages where there is a lake associated with a spawning
stream or slough,sockeye commonly ripen in the lake before initiating
spawning.For example,in the Kasilof River drainage,sockeye spend
three to four weeks ripening in Tustumena Lake rather than in inlet
spawning streams and sloughs,which are characteristically similar to
middle-reach Susitna River sloughs (Barrett 1972).Similar to the
Susitna River main channel,Tustumena Lake provides good escape cover
and dispersion area for tens of thousands of adult salmon.
Female sockeye salmon were examined for egg retention at Sloughs SA,11
and 21 (Table 24).Most (88%)had spawned completely (Figure 29).The
average egg retention for the three sloughs was 64 eggs,the median was
o eggs.

3.3 Pink Salmon
3.3.1 Lower Reach
3.3.1.1 Main Channel Escapements
The escapements of pink salmon in the Susitna River to Flathorn and
Sunsh"ine stations were estimated by the Petersen tag and recapture
method.The Yentna River escapement at Yentna Station was quantified
using side scan sonar.The estimated 1984 pink salmon escapements were
3,629,900 fish to Flathorn Station,369,300 fish to Yentna Station and
1,017,000 fish to Sunshine Station (Tables 25 and 19).
The Yentna River and Sunshine Station escapements comprised about 38
percent of the Flathorn Station estimate (Figure 30).The spay-tning
population below Sunshine Station,excluding the Yentna River,comprised
the remaining 62 percent.Based on previous Susitna River escapement
monitoring and tag recovery surveys,an unknown number of pink salmon
migrating to Flathorn Station were milling fish that spawned downstream
(ADF&G 1983).
The migrational timings of the pink salmon escapements to Flathorn,
Yentna and Sunshine stations were calculated from fishwheel catches
(Figures 31 and 32 and Appendix 3).At Flathorn Station,pinks were
abundant from July 21 to August 7.The migration reached a midpoint on
July 28 in both the east and west channels (Appendix Table 3-3).
Overall,there was 1 ittle difference in the pinks migration timing
between east and west channels.Upriver at Sunshine Station,pink

Figure 32.Mean hourly and cumulative percent fishwheel catch of pink

salmon were abundant from July 25 to August 8,with a midpoint on July
31.At Yentna Station,pinks were abundant from July 21 to August 5,
with a midpoint on July 28.The peak one-day fishwheel catches of pink
salmon at Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations occurred on July 28,
July 25 and July 30,.respectively (Figures 31 and 32).
At Flathorn Station,the river is comprised of two channels formed by a
large island complex.Fishwheels were located on the east and west
mainland banks and on the east and west banks of the largest island
(Appendix Figure 2-1).Fishwheel catches of pink salmon were distri-
buted among the four fi shwheel s as follows:48 percent 1eft east
channel (island fishwheel),28 percent right east channel,17 percent
right west channel (island fishwheel)and 7 percent left west channel.
Most (76%)of the pinks migrated in the east channel (Figure 33).In
the Yentna River at Yentna Station,migrating pinks favored the south
bank.The south fishwheel intercepted 64 percent of the catch and the
north fishwheel 36 percent.Most (64%)of the 93,919 pink salmon
intercepted at Sunshine Stcttion were captured in the east bank
fishwheels.
Pink salmon tagged at Flathorn Station were recaptured at Yentna,
Sunshine,TaHeetna and Curry stations (Figure 33 and Table 26).Tag
recovery information indicated that pinks destined for the Yentna River
passed Flathorn Station in numbers divided evenly between the east and
west channels.Pinks reaching Sunshine Station and above preferred the
east channel.About 87 percent of the recaptured Flathorn pinks were
originally caught in east channel fishwheels at that station.
Recoveries of tagged pink salmon were used to determine migration rates
between stations in 1984.These data are presented in Appendix 3 and

summarized in Figure 34.Pink salmon required about 2 days to travel
the 10-mil e distance between Fl athorn and Yentna stations,based on a
small sample size of 12 fish.This represented a migrational rate of
5.0 mpd based on median travel days.Pink salmon spent about 6 days
traveling between Flathorn and Sunshine stations,for a migrational rate
of 9.7 mpd.The slower travel rate between Flathorn and Yentna stations
may have been due to:1)tagging related stress experienced at Flathorn
and/or 2)milling at the confluence of the Yentna and Susitna rivers.
Males at Flathorn Station averaged 450 mm in length,15 I11TI longer than
females.Combined average lengths of males and females at Yentna and
Sunshine stations were 445 ~n and 441 mm respectively (Appendix Figures
5-12 and 5-13).Ma 1es averaged 15 and 16 mm longer than females at
these stations.Males were more common than females at Flathorn
(1.3:1),Yentna (1.2:1)and Sunshine (1.1:1)stations (Table 27).

3.3.1.2 Spawning Areas
.Pink salmon did not spawn in lower-river mainstem or slough habitats in
1984 (Appendix 1).
Pinks were observed in 12 of 17 stream-mouths between RM 28 and 98.6
(Appendix 1).Between 4,500 to 9,000 spawned in 10 of the stream
mouths,mainly Willow,Birch and Sunshine creeks.The spawning period
was from July 28 to September 25 with a peak during the first two weeks
of August.
3.3.2 Middle Reach
3.3.2.1 Main Channel Escapements
The Petersen tag and recapture method was used to determine the 1984
pink salmon escapements to Talkeetna and Curry stations.By this
method,the pink salmon escapement to Talkeetna Station was 177,900 fish
with a 95 percent confidence interval of approximately 171,800 to
184,400 fish.The escapement to Curry Station was 116,900 pink salmon
with a 95 percent confidence interval of approximately 109,200 to
125,700 fish (Table 25).
Based on the estimated number of pink salmon spawning in stream and
slough habitats above Talkeetna Station,85 and 80 percent of the
respective escapements to Talkeetna and Curry stations were milling fish
(Section 3.3.2.2).
Pink salmon fishwheel catches were used to evaluate migrational timing
at Talkeetna and Curry stations (Figure 35 and Appendix 3).Pinks were
abundant at Talkeetna Stati on from July 25 through August 10.The
migration reached a median on August 3.At Curry Station,pinks were
abundant from July 29 to August 13.The midpoint of the migration was
August 4.Peak fishwheel catches occurred on August 3 at Tal keetna
Station and on August 5 at Curry Station.
Fi shwheel catches at Tal keetna and Curry stations i ndi cated that the
escapements to those stations migrated primarily along the west bank
(Figure 35).A total of 29,236 pink salmon were intercepted by
Talkeetna Station fishwheels;75 percent were captured in west bank
fishwheels (Appendix Tables 3-12 and 3-13).At Curry Station,the total
pink salmon fishwheel catch was 17 ,394 with 70 percent of these fish
intercepted by the west bank fishwheel (Appendix Tables 3-15 and 3-16).
The migrational rates of tagged pink salmon recaptured in the lower and
middle Susitna River r~~ches are presented in Appendix 3 and Figure 34.
Based on median numbers of days between captures,pinks traveled at a
rate of 7.7 mpd between Sunshine and Talkeetna stations,at 10.0 mpd
between Sunshine and Curry stations,and at 17.0 mpd between Talkeetna
and Curry stations.Slower travel speeds between Sunshine and the two
middle-river stations were probably due to milling in the confluence
areas of the Susitna,Talkeetna and Chulitna rivers.

Length data from the Talkeetna and Curry stations escapements are
presented in Table 27 and Appendix 5.The average length of combined
sexes were 447 mm at Talkeetna Station and 442 mm at Curry Station.
Male pinks averaged 13 mm longer than females at Talkeetna Station,and
4 mm longer than females at Curry Station (Table 27).Males were more
numerous than females at both Talkeetna (1.1:1)and Curry stations
(1.6:1)(Table 27).
3.3.2.2 Spawning Areas
ADF&G field personnel observed no pink salmon spawning in the Susitna
River main channel (Appendix 6).However,an employee of E.Woody
Trihey and Associates reported an unquantified number of pink salmon
that spawned near the east bank at RM 119.1 (Trihey 1984).
Pink salmon occupied 17 of the 37 sloughs surveyed in 1984 (Appendix
Table 6-3 and Table 28).They spawned in only 10 sloughs:38,3A,5,
Bushrod,98,AI,8A,11,20 and 21.The most important (accounting for
63%)were 8A,11 and 20 (Figure 36).
Pink salmon spawned in slough habitats from the second week of August to
the first week of September in 1984.Peak spawning occurred during the
second and third weeks of August.

The pink salmon escapement to sloughs in 1984 was about 650 fish (Table
29).Pi nks that spawned ins 1oughs represented about one-ha 1f of one
percent of the escapemerl"reaching Curry Station,re-enforcing the
premise that pink salmon are distributed primarily in stream habitats in
the middle reach.
Pink salmon occupied 22 middle-reach streams in 1984 (Appendix Table

The mouths of these three streams were spawning areas (Appendix 6).At
Indian River and Fourth of July Creek,most spawning occurred within the
first two miles.At Portage Creek,most spawning was from TRM 2 to 5.
Pinks spawned in the streams during the first three weeks of August in
1984,based on surveys at Fourth of July Creek,Indian River and Portage
Creek (Appendix 6).The spawning peak was between the second and third
weeks of August.
An estimated 29,300 pink salmon spawned in middle-rive -stream,slough
and mainstem habitats.This estimate was reached by assuming:
1.stream escapements were equal to peak survey counts expanded
by a factor of 1.2 (Cousens et ale 1982);
2.he 1 i copter survey counts represented about 48 percent of the
fish present in Indian River (Figure 37);
68
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
3.at least 90 percent of the pink salmon spawned in Indian
River,Portage Creek or the index reaches of surveyed streams.
Therefore,in 1984,about 84 percent of the Talkeetna Station escapement
were milling fish.At Curry Station,milling fish were an estimated 78
percent of the escapement.

3.4 Chum Salmon
3.4.1 Lower Reach
3.4.1.1 Main Channel Escapements
An estimated 812,700 chum salmon migrated to Flathorn Station in 1984
(Table 31).Of these,about 26,500 reached Yentna Station (Table 19)
and 765,000 reached Sunshine Station..
Minimal chum spawning occured below Flathorn Station.The known spawn-
ing area is Alexander Creek where the highest escapement was approxi-
mately 500 fish in 1963 (ADF&G 1983).With such minimal spawning,the
chum escapement estimate to Flathorn Station can be considered an
estimate of the entire Susitna River escapement for that species.

Figure 38 illustrates the distribution of the Susitna River chum escape-
ment in 1984.About 97 percent of the total escapement was to the
Yentna River and Sunshine Station.The Yentna River population was
three percent and for Sunshine,94 percent.About three percent of the
escapement was destined to spawn in the lower-reach mainstem and associ-
ated tributaries below Sunshine Station excluding the Yentna.
In 1984 the fishwheels at Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations caught
7,519,1,431 and 56,681 chum respectively or about one percent,five
percent and seven percent of the estimated escapements to those
stations lTable 6).These fishwheel catches provided the basis for
determining escapement timing (Figures 39 and 40).At Flathorn Station,
chum salmon were abundant in the mainstem for 41 days.The migration
began in the east channel at Flathorn Station on July 18,reached a
midpoint on July 25 and ended on August 25.At Yentna Station,the chum
salmon migration lasted 42 days.The onset was July 18,the midpoint
was August 1 and the end was August 29.At Sunshine Station,58 miles
above Flathorn Station,the migration lasted 27 days,beginning July 23,
with a midpoint August 4,and ending August 19.
Chum salmon migrational rates in the lower river are presented in
Appendix 3 and summarized in Figure 41.The data are based on tagged
fish recoveries between the Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations.

Most of the chum salmon tagged at Flathorn Station reached Yentna
Station within four days and Sunshine Station within 13 days.Chum
salmon migrated more slowly or milled more in the lower river between
Flathorn Station and Ventna Station than between the Yentna Station and
Sunshine Station as evident by respective median travel speeds of 2.5
and 4.5 mpd.
Chum salmon migrations in the lower reach were influenced at least twice
in the 1984 season by high discharges.For example,the highest
mainstem discharges from mid-July to mid-August in the Yentna and
Susitna rivers occured on July 27 and 28 (USGS,provisional data).On
those dates,there was a sharp drop in catches in the fi shwheel s at
Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations (Appendix 3).A second
migrational response to discharge probably occured toward the end of the
chum salmon migration.Discharges on August 20 and 21,were between
133,000 cfs and 146,000 cfs at Susitna Station (Figure 42).This
coincided with a major reduction in chum salmon fishwheel catches at
Flathorn and Sunshine stations.
-
Catch differences between opposite river-banks fishwheels at a sampling
station can indicate fish migrational patterns (Appendix 3).In 1984,
83 percent of the chum salmon escapement that reached Flathorn Station
migrated in the east channel.Seventeen percent of the chum escapements
to Flathorn passed in the west channel (Figure 43).In the Yentna
River,57 percent of the chum passed Yentna Station along the south
bank.At Sunshine Station,the east bank wheels caught 92 percent of
the station's chum and the west bank wheels caught the remaining eight
percent.

Chum were sampled for age,length and sex compositi.on at Flathorn,
Yentna and Sunshine stations.Nearly all (99%)of the chum returning to
those stations were three-,four-and five-year-old fish (Figure 44 and
Table 33).Most prevalent were four-year-olds,accounting for about
75 percent of the chum escapement.All chum had migrated to sea as
juveniles in their first year of life.The average chum lengths at
Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations in 1984 were 586 mm,584 mm and
593 mm respectively (Table 34 and Appendix 5).At all stations,males
averaged from 11 to 20 mm longer than females (Table 34).Sexes were
nearly equal in abundance,except at Yentna Station,where males were
30%less abundant (Table 35).

3.4.1.2 Spawning Areas
In the 1984,chum salmon spawning occured at mainstem,slough and
stream-mouth habitats in the lower reach above the Yentna River.Twelve
mainstem and five slough sites were identified.Numbers of mainstem
spawners totalled 2,600 to 3,900 fish and slough spawners 700 to 1,000
fish.Spawning in the mainstem and slough habitats occurrd in September
and early October.Peak spawning probably occured in the first and
second weeks of September.
Chum salmon occupied 10 stream mouths in the lower reach study area.
Five of those were spawning areas.Spawning occurred from mid-August to
the end of September.The peak occured in the last week of August and
the first week of September.Total numbers of spawners were between 100
and 225 chum;most of those spawned at the mouth of Caswell Creek.

A complete report on spawning in the lower reach mainstem,sloughs and
stream mouths can be found in Appendix 1.
3.4.2 Middle Reach
3.4.2.1 Main Channel Escapements
The 1984 escapement to Talkeetna Station was approximately 98,200 chum
and for Curry Station,49,300 (Table 31).Based on these figures,only
13 percent of the escapement to Sunshine entered the middle reach of the
Susitna.Most of those entering the middle reach were milling fish from
the lower reach.Only about 25 percent of the escapement to Talkeetna
Station spawned in the middle reach.The rest were milling fish.In
comparison,about 55 percent of the chum that reached Curry Station
spawnedi n the mi dd1 e reach,and 45 percent were m;11 i ng fi sh.These
estimates were derived by cal cu1 ati ng the number of chum spawni ng in
mainstem,stream and slough-habitats wi thin the mi dd1 e reach (Section
3.4.2.2).
Chum salmon catches in fishwhee1s at Talkeetna Station totaled 12,749
fi sh and at Curry Station 4,228 (Tab1 e 6),whi ch represented 13 and 9
percent of the respective intercepted escapements to those stations.
Based on catch timing,chum migration in the middle reach lasted for
five to six weeks (Figure 45).At Talkeetna Station,chum migration
began on July 25,reached a midpoint on August 5 and ended on August 15.
At Curry Station,the respective dates were July 28,August 5 and August
21.
Chum salmon migrated faster (or milled less)in the middle reach than in
the lower reach.For example,the median travel speed of tagged fish
between Flathorn and Sunshine stations was 4.5 mpd,between Sunshine and
Talkeetna stations 5.4 mpd,and between Talkeetna and Curry stations 8.5
mpd (Figure 41).Slower migration rates in the lower reach may have
been due to fish milling at the confluences of glacial tributaries (the
Yentna,Talkeetna and Chulitna rivers).
In the vicinity of Talkeetna Station,chum migration was about equally
distributed,with the east and west bank fishwheels taking 46 and 54
percent respectively of the catch.In the vicinity of Curry Station,
most chum migrated along the east bank (75%),on the same side of the
river as most major spawning sloughs.
Chum migration in the middle reach generally followed a bell-curve
distribution,based on fishwheel catches at Talkeetna and Curry stations
(Figure 45).The exception in the second week of August was probably
related to a high discharge (Figure 8).Fishwheel catches at both
stations indicated that chum migration slowed when mainstem discharge
increased and accelerated after peak discharge.Previous studies also
indicated that chum salmon responded to rapid increases in mainstem
discharge by slowing migrational travel (ADF&G 1981,1982).
Representative age,length and sex samples were collected from mid-
dle-river chum salmon at Talkeetna and Curry stations in 1984.Escape-
ments to both stations were comprised of three-to six-year-old fish
(Table 34 and Figure 44).About 70 percent were four-year-olds.All

had migrated to sea as juveniles in their first year of life.The
average chum length at Talkeetna and Curry stations was 600 mm (Table
34).Males averaged 12 mm longer than females (Table 34).The
male-to-female ratio was slightly less as Talkeetna (1.4.1)than at
Curry (2.0.1).
3.4.2.2 Spawning ,Areas
In 1984,36 mainstem chum spawning areas were indentified in the middle
reach,nine downstream of Curry Station and 27 upstream.Spawning was
observed from September 1 to September 29 (Appendix Table 6-1).Peak
spawning probably occured in the first two weeks of September,based on
peak live fish counts.However,spawning may have peaked as much as a
week earl ier.Turbid mainstem conditions through the month of August
resulted in poor survey visibility,and may have prevented documentation
of earlier spawning,if it did occur.
The highest single count of live chunl salmon in the 36 mainstem spawning
areas was 1,266 fish (Figure 46).Assuming this count represented about
a third of the total population,approximately 3,800 fish spawned in the
middle mainstem Susitna River reach.The reason for expanding the peak
count by a factor of 3.0 is based on information which indicates that a
peak live and dead count of chum salmon represents about 50 percent of
an actual escapements under ideal survey conditions (Cousens et al.
1982).Considering that there were poor mainstem survey conditions in
late August near the peak of spawning,and that dead fish were not
counted due to the uncertainty of their origin,an expansion factor of
3.0 the authors considered reasonable.
In 1984,11 streams were occupied by chum salmon in the middle river
reach (Appendix Table 6-2).Peak counts of those streams totaled 3,814
fish (Table 36).Most (98%)of the fish were in Indian River,Portage
Creek and Fourth of July Creek (Figure 47).Spawning in those streams
occurred from about the last week of July through the fi rst week in
October with the peak in the second and third weeks of August (Appendix
Table 6-2).
The spawning areas and upper migration limits for the 11 chum-occupied
streams used are illustrated in Appendix 6.Most of the mouths of those
creeks were spawning areas.In Indian River,chum salmon spawned in the
fi rst ni ne mi'1es,with major,spawni ng in the fi rst two mil es.At
Portage Creek,spawni ng extended about 7.5 mi 1es ups tream to Thorofa re
Creek (TRM 7.5).Spawning was discontinuous in that reach.Chum enter-
ing Fourth of July Creek spawned from the mouth to a point about 1.5
miles upstream.The majority of spawning was at the mouth.
The general importance of the chum spawning habitat in this reach,
including the mouths of Indian River and Portage Creek,was determined
by comparing escapement counts within subreaches (Appendix Table 6-2).
As illustrated in Figures 48 and 49,relatively high counts of live chum
were recorded (by ground and helicopter surveys)in the index reaches of
those streams throughout the entire spawning period.About 45 percent
of the peak count of Indian River was in the first mile,and 21 percent
of the peak count of Portage Creek was logged in the first one-quarter
mil e.

Figure 46.Chum salmon spawning areas in Susitna River mainstem middle
reach.1984.
The escapement to middle-reach streams was approximately 7.630 fish.
This estimate was determined by expanding the total peak count by a
factor of two (Table 36)(Cousens et al.1982).
In 198t+,adult chum were observed in 30 middle-reach sloughs,28 of
which were spawning areas (Table 37).Sloughs 14 (RM 135.9)and 15 (Rr~

spawning.The 100 chum salmon that milled in Slough 15 were probably
destined for Indian River (RM 138.6)due to the early date (August 8)of
the observation and the proximity of Slough 15 to Indian River.The
single chum salmon recorded in Slough 14 was probably a stray from a
nearby spawning area.

Figure 50.Chum salmon live counts by date in sloughs 8A,11 and 21,
1984.
Chum salmon monitored for observed residence at sloughs AI,SA and 11
averaged from 14 to 20 days in the Susitna River mainstem between the
time they were ta9ged and the time they entered one of those study
sloughs (Figure 51).The mean average time was 19 days.The majority
of that time was probably spent ripening in the Susitna River mainstem.
Chum salmon averaged 8.5 mpd travel between Talkeetna and Curry stations
(Figure 41).The furthest study slough (Slough 11)is 15 miles upstream
from Curry,or about two days if migration were direct.Further
evidences that the mainstem was used as a ripening area were 1)the
several-week period between peak fishwheel catches at Talkeetna and
Curry stations;2)dates of peak live counts at sloughs 8A,11 and 21
(Figure 50 and Appendix Table 6-3);and 3)fish spawning in areas
downstream from their tagging sites,.indicating that not all chum
migrated directly to spawning areas.Mill ing upstream of a spawning
area is probably more frequently an artifact of fish using the mainstem
for ripening than a by-product of seeking out a new spawning habitat or
not initially recognizing a natal area.

NUMBER OF DAYS BETWEEN CURRY STATION
6 ENTERING SLOUGH II
Percent frequency of the number of days tagged chum salmon spent in the
Susitna River mainstem between Curry Station and Sloughs A~8A and II.
1984.
Chum salmon had a mean average observed residence at sloughs AI,8A and
11 of 6.8 days (Figure 52).The lowest average was at Slough 11 (6.1
days)and the highest at Slough 8A (7.9 days).These estimates do not
represent the spawning life of chum salmon in the sloughs because not
all monitored fish initiated spawning.
Some chum salmon whi~h entered sloughs AI,8A,and 11 spawned elsewhere.
At least three of the 131 fish monitored at those sloughs entered more
than one slough.For example,one chum entered Slough BA,remained
there for about a week and four days later entered Slough 11,where it
finally spawned.About 18 percent of the chum monitored for observed
residence were located only once in the three study sloughs.Those fish
probably entered the study sloughs for milling or ripening purposes
only.An unknown percentage of fish may have been removed by bears.
The zonal distribution of spawning in sloughs 8A and 11 is outlined in
Table 38.The lower reaches were used more by chum than the upper
reaches,based on observed residence data.In contrast,sockeye spawned
mare frequently in the upper reaches.

fish (Flathorn Station),18,200 fish (Yentna Station)and 94,700 fish
(Sunshine Station)(Tables 42 and 19).These estimates were derived by
the Petersen tag and recapture method at Flathorn and Sunshine stations
94
-
-
-
and by SSS at Yentna Station.The approximate 95 percent confidence
intervals associated with the Petersen estimates are presented in Table
42.
The coho salmon escapement into the Susitna River drainage was defined
as the estimated escapement to F1athorn Station.Below F1athorn
Station,only Fish and Alexander creeks drainages are known to support
coho spawning populations (ADF&G 1982).Historically,the highest
counts were 380 fish in Red Shirt Creek (1952)(Fish Creek drainage)and
2,000 fish in Alexander Creek (1964)(ADF&G 1982).
The geographic distribution of coho salmon in the lower reach above
Flathorn Station,based on 1984 escapement monitoring at Flathorn,
Yentna and Sunshine stations,is illustrated in Figure 54.As shown,
the combined escapements to Yentna and Sunshine stations accounted for
about 60 percent of the escapement to Flathorn Station.The remaining
40 percent spawned in the lower river below Sunshine Station excluding
the Yentna River.

The migration at Flathorn Station extended from July 18 to August 24
(Figure 55).The migration midpoint occurred on July 29 in the east
channel and on July 25 in the west channel.There was little difference
between east and west channel passage timing based on fishwheel catches.
At Yentna Station.the coho migration was from July 21 to August 22.
with a midpoint on August 3 (Figure 55).At Sunshine Station,coho
salmon were abundant from July 29 to August 29.The migration midpoint
was on August 11 (Figure 56).
Migratory distributions at Flathorn.Yentna Jnd Sunshine stations were
based on fishwheel catches (Table 6 and Appendix 3).At Flathorn
Station 9 individual fishwheel catches were as follows:18 percent right
east channel.38 percent left east channel.35 percent right west
channel and 10 percent left west channel.The majority of the coho (55
percent)migrated in the east channel (Figure 57).The data also
indicated a strong preference for coho to migrate midriver at that site.
The two midriver fishwheels intercepted a combined 72 percent of the
total catch.At Yentna Station coho migrated primarily (81 percent)
along the south bank.At Sunshine Station.58 percent of the coho
migrated along the east bank and 42 percent along the west bank.
Coho salmon migrating past Flathorn Station enroute to Yentna Station
migrated primarily (67%)in the east channel (Table 43).Coho salmon
reaching Sunshine Stati()n and above also passed Flathorn Station pre-
dominately (90 percent)in the east channel.

Table 43.Comparison of numbers of coho salmon tagged by east and west
channel fishwheel s at RM 22 to the number of tag numbered
recaptures by bank at Yentna Stati on and at RM 80,103 and
120 combined,1984.
Migrational rates between Flathorn and Yentna stations and Flathorn and
Sunshine stations,based on median days traveled,were 1.0 mpd and 2.3
mpd,respectively (Figure 58").The slower travel.rate between Fl athorn
and Yentna stations was probably due to milling activity in the vicinity
of the Susitna and Yentna rivers confluence.
Age,length and sex composition information was collected from the
escapements reaching Fl athorn,Yentna and Sunshi ne stations in 1984.
Four-year-old fish represented 64,70 and 64 percent respectively of the
escapements (Table 44 and Figure 59).Three-year-old fish were the
second most abundant at all three sites.Of the coho salmon returning
to Flathorn,Yentna and Sunshine stations,64,70 and 64 percent respec-
tively had migrated to the ocean in their third year of life.The
res pect i ve mean 1engths of the cohos sampled at Fl athorn,Yentna and
Sunshine stations were,542 mm,557 mm and 546 mm (Appendix Figures 5-21
to 5-23).The slightly longer average length recorded at Ventna Station
was due to a higher percentage of four-year-old fish returning there
than to the other two stations (Table 45).At Flathorn and Yentna,
males were generally longer than females.At Sunshine Station,the male
and female average lengths were the same.Generally,males were more
abundant than females at Flathorn and Sunshine stations and fewer in
number at Yentna Station (Table 46).
Coho salmon fecundities were determined from 22 samples collected at
Sunshine Station in 1984.All samples were collected on August 22.The
average fecundity was 2,964 eggs per female,ranging from 1,394 to 3,984
eggs (Table 47).The fecundity samples were collected prior to the full
egg maturation and they became fragile and difficult to count after
freezi ng and thawi ng.Those di ffi culti es introduced an unknown error
component in the analysis.

The Susitna River coho salmon mean fecundity,predicted from a mean
length of 546 mm recorded for 485 females at Sunshine Station,was 2,800
eggs (Figure 60).This estimate assumes that coho salmon stocks sampled
on August 22 were mixed and representative of the entire escapement.
Susitna River coho fecundities may be greater than other Alaskan and
Canadian stocks.Hart (1973)reported the mean fecundity of 550 mm coho
salmon at 2,500 eggs.Based on reg'ression analysis,the estimated
fecundity of similarly sized Susitna coho would be 2,860 eggs,or 360
more than reported by Hart (Figure 60).
3.5.1.2 Spawning Areas
Coho salmon spawned in two lower-river mainstem sites in 1984.An
estimated 200 to 400 fish spawned at RM 87.5 and 90.3 during the last
week of September and first two weeks of October (Appendix 1).
In 1984,coho utilized 11 of 17 lower-river stream mouths for either
passage or ho 1di ng.They were present from the fi rst week of August
'through the 1ast week of September and were most abundant the 1ast two
weeks of August.Coho did not spawn in any lower-river stream mouths in
1984 (Appendix 1).
Coho spawned in one lower-river slough (RM 57.0)in 1984.Approximately
10 to 20 coho spawned in the slough during the first two weeks of
October (Appendix 1).
3.5.2 Middle Reach
3.5.2.1 Main Channel Escapements
The 1984 coho salmon escapements to Talkeetna and Curry stations were
quantified using the Petersen tag and recapture method.About 11,800
coho salmon migrated to Talkeetna Station.The approximate 95 percent
confi dence i nterva 1 associ ated with thi s estimate was 10,500 to 13,600
fish.The estimated escapement at Curry Station was 2,200 fish,with an
approximate 95 percent confidence interval of 1,500 to 3,700 fish (Table
42).
Migrations reaching Talkeetna and Curry stJ.tions comprised six percent
and one percent respectively of the Susitna River escapement as recorded
at Flathorn Station (Figure 54).Based on the estimated number of coho
that spawned in the middle reach (Section 3.5.2.2),about 57 percent of
the Ta 1keetna Stat i on escapement and 45 percent of the Curry Station
escapement were milling fish.
Based on fishwheel catches,coho salmon were abundant at Talkeetna
Station from July 31 to August 29 (Appendix Table 3-14).The migration
reached a midpoint on August 12.At Curry Station,coho salmon were
abundant from August 1 to August 28.The mi grati on medi an was August
11.
Fishwheel interceptions at Ta'lkeetna and Curry stations were used to
determine migrational characteristics at those sites (Figure 61).A
total of 1,526 coho salmon were captured at Talkeetna Station.The west

bank fishwheels accounted for 80 percent of the catch,indicating a
strong preference by coho to migrate along that bank.At Curry Station,
a total of 350 coho were intercepted.The west and east bank fishwheels
intercepted 53 and 4.7 percent of the stati on catch,whi ch i ndi cated
approximately equal distribution along both banks.
Based on median travel days,the travel speed between Sunshi ne and
Talkeetna stations was 3.3 mpd,between Sunshine and Curry stations 4.0
mpd,and between Talkeetna and Curry stations 5.7 mpd (Figure 58).
Age,length and sex data were collected from coho escapements at
Talkeetna and Curry stations.Based on that information,the escape-
ments to both stations were primari.ly four-year-old fish,67 and 52
percent respectively (Table 44).Most of the returning escapements to
Talkeetna (67%)and Curry (52%)stations had smolted in their third year
of life.The average lengths recorded at Talkeetna and Curry stations
were 559 and 531 ll11I (Appendix Figures 5-24 and 5-25).The shorter
average coho length at Curry was due to a larger percentage of
three-year-old fish at that station (Table 44).Males were slightly
more abundant than females at both Talkeetna and Curry stations (1.1:1)
(Tab 1e 46).
3.5.2.2 Spawning Areas
Coho spawned in one middle-river mainstem site in 1984 (Appendix Figure
6-16).On August 24,two coho were observed spawning off the Susitna
River west bank at RM 131.5.No other mainstem sites were identified.
Coho salmon occupied three of 37 middle river sloughs surveyed in 1984.
Fish observed in those three sloughs--Moose,11 and 15--were considered
milling (not spawning)fish based on single sightings,no observed
carcasses and no observations of spawning activity.
Coho salmon occupi ed 10 of 25 streams surveyed in the mi ddl e reach
(Appendix Table 6-2).The peak coho survey count of the 10 streams was
1,434 fi sh.Based on those counts,the maj ority (70%)of the coho
salmon in middle reach were in Indian River,Whiskers Creek and Chase
Creek (Table 48 and Figure 62).
Coho salmon spawned in streams from the third week of September to the
second week of October (Appendix Table 6-2).The spawning period in
streams reached a peak during the last week of September.
The upper limits of migration in Whiskers Creek,Chase Creek and Indian
River were 0.9 miles,1.1 miles and 8.7 miles,respectively (Appendix
6).Coho salmon in Whiskers Creek sp~wned intermittently to the upper
1 imit of their migration.The stream mouth was the most important
spawning area.In Chase Creek spawning occurred discontinuously to the
upper mi grati on 1imit.Coho spawned throughout Indian River from the
stream mouth to TRM 8.1.Two major coho spawning reaches were located
from TRM 2.7 to 5.3 and from TRM 7.6 to 8.1.Major spawning was also
observed ina small Indian River tributary located at approximately TR~l
8.1.

Approximately 2,900 coho salmon spawned in middle-river stream and
mainstem habitats in 1984.Most (99%)spawned in streams.The follow-
ing assumptions were made in deriving this estimate:
1.peak counts of coho represented 50 percent of stream escape-
ment (Cousens et ale 1984)and
2.surveys of coho-producing streams encompassed the entire
spawning range.

4.0 SUMMARY
This section will cover 1981 through 1984 adult salmon investigations
contracted to the ADF&G Su Hydro study team by the APA.Unless
otherwise noted,all references to 1981 through 1983 salmon data
originate from the ADF&G Phase I (1981),ADF&G Phase II (l983)and
Barrett et al.(1984)Adult Anadromous Fish reports.
The study stations and their locations were:
Flathorn at RM 22,operational for the first time in 1984;
Yentna at TRM 4,upstream from the mouth of the Yentna River at RM
28;
Sunshine at RM 80;
Talkeetna at RM 103;
Curry at RM 120.
The river divisions were:
Lower reach from RM 0 to the Chulitna River confluence at RM 98.6;
Middle reach from the Chulitna confluence to upper Devil Canyon at
RM 161.
The surveys referred to in the text were:
1976 through 1980,by ADF&G Sport Fish,of chinook index streams
(Table 12);
1981 through 1984,by ADF&G Su Hydro and Sport Fish cooperatively,
of chinook index streams;
1981 through 1982,by ADF&G Su Hydro of all species,of lower-reach
main channel and of middle-reach main channel,side channels,
sloughs and streams;
1983,as 1981 through 1982,but no main channel surveys;
1984,as 1981 through 1982,but both lower-and middle-reach main
channel,side channels,sloughs and streams.
After a review of overall salmon escapements,this section follows a
general format addressing each salmon species by river reach and by year

The annual combi ned escapements of sockeye,pi nk,chum and coho sa 1mon
to Yentna and Sunshine stations ranged between 0.7 and 2.6 million fish
from 1981 to 1984 (Figure 63).Most of the variation was due to pink
escapements,which averaged 15 times higher in even years (1982-84)than
in odd years (1981-83).A high 1984 chum escapement was also
influential.

Monitoring of sockeye,pink,chum and coho salmon at Yentna and Sunshine
stations provided a measure of the minimum Susitna River escapement of
these species from 1981 through 1983 (Figure 63).A better indication
of total river escapement was provided in 1984 by escapement monitoring
at Flathorn Station,a site downstream from all but two major spawning
tributaries (Alexander and Fish creeks).The combined escapement of the
four species at Flathorn Station in 1984 was approximately 5.2 million
fi sh--twi ce the combined same-year escapement to Yentna and Sunshine
stations.A comparison of the 1984 escapements to Flathorn,Yentna and
Sunshine stations indicated major spawning by sockeye,pink and coho
below Yentna and Sunshine stations,but only minor chum spawning.
An estimate of the total Susitna River chinook escapement is not
available.The only monitoring of chinook salmon in the lower reach was
at Sunshine Station,where escapements have been quantified since 1982.
Drainage-wide surveys undertaken since 1981 established most chinook
escapement below Sunshine Station.
4.1 Chinook Salmon
In the last 10 years chinook salmon returning to the Susitna River have
not been a target species in the commerical fishery of Upper Cook Inlet
because the early migration of this species precedes the annual opening
date of the fishery (ADF&G 1982).However,there is a freshwater sport
fishery for Susitna River chinook salmon.The annual harvest for 1981
through 1983 .averaged 7,800 fi sh (pers.comm,_K.Delaney).The sport
take is princi pa lly from tributary-spawning stocks in the lower-river
reach.In the Susitna River drainage,there are about 60 chinook salmon
spawning populati ons (ADF&G 1982).The most important spawning areas
are Alexander Creek (RM 9.8),Deshka River (RM 40.5),Lake Creek (RM 28)
and Prairie Creek (RM 97.1)(Barrett et ale 1984).
In the lower reach,estimated chinook escapements to Sunshine Station
were 52,900 in 1982,90,100 in 1983 and 121,700 in 1984,for a
three-year average of 88,200 fish (Table 49 and Figure 64).
Middle-reach chinook escapements have also improved over the last three
years (Figure 64).At Talkeetna Station the escapement has ranged from
10,900 to 24,800 fish and averaged 16,700 fish since 1982.At Curry
Station escapement has ranged from 9,700 to 18,000 fish and averaged
13,000 fi sh.The 1984 escapements to these stati ons doubled those of
1982 and 1983.
The escapement increases since 1982 may be partly due to reduced foreign
fishing in the Gulf of Alaska (pers.comm,K.Middleton,Middleton and
Associates).
Mi 11 i ng fi sh compri sed some of the mi ddl e-reach chi nook escapements.
For example,in 1984,45 and 24 percent of the respective Talkeetna and
Curry stati ons escapements returned downstream to spawn in the lower
reach,primarily in the Talkeetna and Chulitna river drainages.The
lower percentage for Curry was typical of all years.

During the last three years,chinook salmon have been abundant in the
lower reach at Sunshine Station from the second week of June through the
second week of July (Figure 65).Peak abundance normally occurred in
the 1ast two weeks of June.In the mi ddl e reach,fi sh have been
abundant from the third week of June to the third week of July,with the
peak in the last two weeks of June.
In 1984,some chinook stocks migrating past Sunshine Station were
segregated.Chulitna River spawners preferred the west bank,Talkeetna
River spawners the east bank.Middle-river fish migrated in even
numbers along both banks.
There was indication of a similar pattern in 1983.However,in 1981 and
1982 sampling methods at Sunshine Station did not differentiate specific
populations~
Chinook migration was slower during high flows.In 1984,a peak high-
water discharge of 93,000 cfs (USGS)at the Parks Highway Bridge (RM
83),resulted in a sharp catch reduction in the Sunshine Station
fishwheels.The same flow event coincided with similar catch reductions
at Talkeetna and Curry stations.In 1981 and 1982,migration of radio-
tagged fish was delayed at high flows.
Chinook migrated more slowly between Sunshine and Talkeetna stations
than between Taol keetna and Curry stations for the last three years
(Table 50).The slower migration may be associated with milling in the
confluence area of the Talkeetna and Chulitna rivers.

Ages of returning chinook ranged from three to seven years,with
six-year-ol ds predomi nant (Tables 51 and 52).An abundance of
three-year-old males partially accounted for uneven sex ratios.Lengths
averaged from 602 to 816 mm.Greater mean lengths in 1984 reflected a
higher proportion of older fish than in previous years.
All chinook spawning occurred in streams.There was no evidence of
spawning in the mainstem or associated sloughs downstream of Devil
Canyon from 1981 through 1984.Stream mouths in the lower reach were
used for passage only,but in the middle reach,many stream mouths were
both spawning and passage areas.In 1984 there was spawning at the
mouths of Whiskers Creek,Fourth of July Creek,Indian River and Portage
Creek (Appendix 6).Since 1982,chinook have been documented in two
Devil Canyon streams,Cheechako and Chinook creeks (Table 53.).About
one percent of the middle-reach escapement have spawned in those streams
for the last three seasons.
In the middle reach,there has been an 87 percent annual increase in
chinook stream escapements over the last four years (Table 53).Most of
the increase has been in Indian River and Portage Creek.Those streams
supported 95 percent of the middle-river spawning.
4.2 Sockeye Salmon
The Susitna River supports two runs of sockeye salmon.The first-run is
smaller,and unlike the second-run is not subject to a commerical
fishery.The first-run probably is in the range of 5,000 to 10,000
fish,based on three years of escapement monitoring at Sunshine Station
(Barrett et ale 1984)and an unpublished sighting of suspected first-run
sockeye in Fish lake Creek.in the Yentna River drainage by Barrett in
1973.The second-run of sockeye salmon is substantially larger,
comprised of over 50 separate populations.Second-run stocks are
harvested by drift and set net fishennen in Upper Cook In1 et.The
commercial contribution of Susitna River stocks to that fishery is in
the range of 10 to 30 percent (Barrett et al.1984).Susitna River
second-run sockeye escapements have not been completely quantified.
However,mi nimum annual escapements of 175,900 to 272,900 second-run
fi sh have been estimated for 1981 through 1983.The estimates were
detennined by escapement monitoring to Yentna and Sunshine Stations
(Barrett et al.1984).In 1984,the minimum drainage-wide escapement
was an estimated 605,800 sockeye,based on a first-year tag-and-
recapture operation at Flathorn Station (Section 3.2).
4.2.1 First-run
First-run sockeye salmon esrapements to Sunshine Station were
approximately 5,800 fish in 1982,3,300 fish in 1983 and 4,800 in 1984.
These reflect escapements to the inlet stream of Papa Bear Lake,the
only known first-run spawning area above Sunshine Station.
First-run sockeye were abundant in the lower river at Sunshine Station
from the first through the third weeks of June for the last three years
(Figure 66).Most migrated along the east bank.First-run fish milled
in the middle river as far as Talkeetna Station,but returned to the
inlet stream of Papa Bear lake to spawn.

Figure 66.Migrational timing on first-run sockeye salmon based on
fishwheel CPUE at Sunshine Station in 1982-84.
-Fi rst-run sockeye ages ranged from four to six years,with five-year-
olds dominant (Table 54).Nearly all had spent a year in freshwater
prior to going to sea.Average lengths ranged from 515 to 535 mm (Table
55).Females were twice as numerous as males except in 1983.The
turn-around in sex ratio in that year was attributed to a high return of
four-year-old males.

Sunshine Station (Figure 67 and Table 49).Combined escapements to
those stations ranged from 175,900 to 279,500 fish,averaging 248,400
fish (Figure 68).The 1984 combined escapement was the highest on
record at 279,500 fish.The escapement to Flathorn Station in 1984 was
over twice that at 605,800 fish.This indicates that a major segment
of the Susitna River escapement (326,300 sockeye)spawned below Yentna
and Sunshine stations in 1984.Known spawning areas downstream of
Sunshine Station include Fish Creek,Alexander Creek,Whitsol Lake and
Deshka River drainages.Based on the milling that occurs at other
stations,it is possible that a portion of the Flathorn Station
escapement spawned below this station.The major spawning area below
Yentna and Sunshine stations is Fish Creek drainage,which enters the
Susitna River about 14 miles downstream of Flathorn Station.
Middle-river sockeye escapements to Talkeetna Station ranged from 3,100
to 13,100 fish,with a four-year average of 6,300 (Figure 67).At Curry
Station,the range was 1,300 to 3,600 fish with a 2,400 fish average.
The 1984 escapements to these stations were the highest on record.
A majority of sockeyes at Talkeetna Station were milling fish that
returned downstream,spawni ng primarily in the Talkeetna and Chul itna
river drainages.Of that stations escapement,milling fish comprised 54
percent in 1981,52 percent in 1982,62 percent in 1983 and 83 percent
in 1984.Less milling occurred at Curry Station.Portions of the Curry
escapement that later spawned downstream were 11 percent in 1981,none
in 1982,16 percent in 1983 and 38 percent in 1984.
Sockeye were abundant annually in the lower reach between the second
week of July and the second week of August,with a peak near the fourth
week of July (Figure 69).In the middle river,fish have been abundant
from the thi rd week of July to the fourth week of August,wi th a peak
between the last week of July and the first week of August.
In 1984,the majority of the sockeye escapement destined for Yentna and
Sunshine stations passed Flathorn in the east·channel.Annual
migrations past Yentna and Sunshine were heaviest along the south and
east banks.In the middle river at Talkeetna Station,travel was evenly
·divided between east and west banks,while at Curry Station most
migration was along the east bank.
Migration speeds have been generally slower in the lower reach than in
the lTIiddle reach (Table 56).Slower travel speeds may be associated
with milling,particularly at major river confluences.
Lower-and mi ddl e-river sockeye escapements for the 1ast four years
included fish ranging in age from three to seven years (Tabll 54).Most
were four and five years old.Nearly all sockeye had smolted after one
winter in fresh water.Fish lengths averaged between 466 and 580 mm
(Table 55).Sex ratios varied considerably from year to year and
station to station (Table 55).

In a 1983 study,estimated sockeye fecundity was 3,350 eggs per female.
Thi s represents about 350 eggs 1ess than the mean fecundi ty of North
American stocks reported by Hart (1973).
There was no evidence of spawning in the lower-river main channel or
side channels in the last four years.In addition,stream mouths and
sloughs,surveyed only in 1984,were not spawning areas.
Minor spawning occurred in the middle-reach mainstem for two of the last
four years.Eleven fish were observed spawning at one site in 1983,and
33 fish at seven other sites in 1984.The total numbers of mainstem
spawners in 1983 and 1984 were about 35 and 100 fish respectively,
assuming that about one-third of the spawners were present at the time
the highest counts were recorded.Streams in the middle reach had
little or no spawning activity in the last four years.Only one pair of
stream-spawning sockeye was observed in 1984,at the mouth of Portage
Creek.
Essentially all sockeye spawning in the middle reach occurred in sloughs
(Table 57).Since 1981,sloughs 11,8A and 21 have supported 90 percent
of the spawning.Peak spawning in sloughs occurred around the second
week of September.
In 1983 and 1984,sockeye salmon were monitored at several middle-reach
sloughs for observed-residence data.The average time from slough entry
to mortality or departure was 11.8 days per fish in 1983 and 8.4 days
per fish in 1984.Sockeye escapements to middle-reach sloughs were

about 2,200 fish in 1981,1,500 in 1982,1,600 in 1983 and 2,325 in
1984.The estimates were calculated using two years of observed-
residence data and four years of live fish counts.
In 1983 and 1984,female sockeyes were examined for egg retention at
several middle-reach sloughs.The average was 249 eggs per female in
1983 and 64 eggs per female in 1984.For chum salmon,there was a
positive correlation between egg retention and spawner density in
sloughs in 1983 and 1984.That was not apparent in sockeye.Slough
escapements were 40 percent higher in 1984 than in 1983,but egg
retention was about three times lower.
4.3 Pink Salmon
Susitna River pink salmon stocks annually comprise about 85 percent of
the Upper Cook Inlet pink salmon commerical catch (Barrett et al.1984).
They are commercially of least value and comparatively not as intensely
fished as sockeye,chum and coho salmon.Returning Susitna River pink
salmon stocks utilize a minimum of 40 tributaries within the drainage.
Enroute to or in their natal spawning streams,pinks are subjected to a
recreational sport fishery.The Susitna River even-year (1982)sport
harvest of pinks was about 17,400 fish (Mills 1983).That represented
32 percent of the pi nk salmon harvest recorded for the enti re South
Central region.Odd-year harvests were approximately 8,700 fish (1981)
and 4,700 fish (1983)(Mills 1983,1984).
Since 1981,the combined Yentna and Sunshine stations pink escapements
have been estimated at 86,000 (1981),891,000 (1982),101,200 (1983)and
1,386,300 (l984)(Table 49).The 1984 pink escapement to Flathorn
Station was about 3,629,900 fish,60 percent higher than the combined
Yentna/Sunshine figure for that year.Combined Yentna and Sunshine
escapements averaged 93,400 pinks in odd years and 1,138,400 in even
years (Figure 70)~Yentna and Sunshine escapements were within 30
percent of each other except in 1984,when higher-than-average numbers
of pinks were recorded at Sunshine Station.
In the middle river at Talkeetna Station,odd-year pink salmon
escapements averaged 5,900 fi sh,whi 1e even-year escapements averaged
125,500 (Table 49 and Figure 71).Average odd-and even-year
escapements at Curry Sta:ion were 3,300 and 87,900 fish.At both
stations,the 1984 escapement was about twice the previous even-year
escapement.
Based on spawning ground surveys in 1984,85 and 80 percent of the pink
salmon reaching Talkeetna and Curry stations were mill "jng fish.
The lower reach below Sunshine Station produced most of the pink salmon
escapement.In 1984,10 percent of the escapement reaching Flathorn
Station spawned in Yentna River tributaries,60 percent spawned in
lower-reach tributaries between the Yentna River and Sunshine Station,
and 30 percent spawned above Sunshine Station,mainly in Talkeetna
River,Chulitna River and middle-reach tributaries.These are approxi-
mate values because a portion of the escapement reaching Flathorn
Station probably spawned below that site,primarily in Alexander Creek.

Pi nk salmon were abundant in the lower ri ver from the second week of
July to the third week of August in odd years,and from the fourth week
of .Ju1y to the second week of August in even years (Figure 72).In the
middle river,they were abundant from the last week of July to the third
week of August in odd years,and from the 1ast week of July to the
second week of August in even years.
At F1athorn Station,most pinks migrated in the east channel in 1984.
Four years of data from Yentna and Sunshine stations indicated heaviest
migration along the south and east banks.In the middle river,east
bank travel was predominant at both Talkeetna and Curry stations.
Recovery of pink salmon tagged at Flathorn Station in 1984 indicated
that Yentna River fish were evenly distributed in the east and west
channels at F1athorn,whereas pinks destined for Sunshine Station
migrated mainly in the east channel.
Pinks traveled at a slower rate between Flathorn and Yentna stations
than between F1athorn and Sunshine stations (Table 58).Milling in the
Susitna/Yentna confluence might have been responsible.Pinks migrated
more slowly between Sunshine and Talkeetna stations than between
Talkeetna and Curry stations.Again,the difference might have been due
to milling,this time in the confluences of the Talkeetna,Susitna and
Chulitna rivers.Migration was slower in even years than in odd years.

No age information was collected for pink salmon because they are almost
exclusively two-year-olds.Fish lengths averaged 419 to 474 mm,with no
major differences between odd and even years (Table 59).Because this
species has essentially no freshwater rearing,between-and within-year
length variation may be due to ocean growth.Generally,males were
slightly more abundant than females in both reaches,with no major
distinction between odd and even years (Table 59).

,Estimated pink salmon fecu(ldity in a 1983 study was 1,350 eggs per
female.This falls within the range (800 to 2,000)reported by Morrow
(1980).
Since 1981,there has been no confirmed pink spawning in the middle-or
lower-reach mainstem.However,possible spawning may have occurred in
1984 at RM 119.1,based on a report from E.Woody Trihey and Associates
(1984)•
The 1984 surveys produced no indication of slough spawning by pinks in
the lower reach above the Susitna/Yentna River confluence.In the
middle reach,mino~spawning did occur,notably in sloughs 8A,11 and~O
(Table 60).Total slough spawning escapements were 40 pinks in 1981,
300 in 1982 and 650 in 1984.
In the lower reach,above the Susitna/Yentna River confluence,an
estimated 4,500 to 9,000 pink salmon spawned in the mouths of 10
streams,based on 1984 surveys.Willow,Birch and Sunshine creek mouths
were the most important sites,collectively utilized by three to six
thousand pinks.In the middle river.pink salmon spawned in 10 of the

22 stream mouths surveyed in 1984.Based on peak index survey counts
over the last four years,Indian River,Fourth -of July Creek and Lane
Creek were the primary spawning streams (Table 61).Almost all spawning
occurred from the second to the fourth weeks of August in these
tributaries.
The enti re spawning reaches of Indian River and Portage Creek were
surveyed in 1983 and 1984 (Table 62).Results showed that index counts
of Portage Creek were not indicative of that streams spawning
importance •.For example,in 1984 the peak index count was 302 fish
while a survey of the entire spawning reach gave a peak count of 2,707
fish.Of the 9,066 pinks counted in Indian River,58 percent were
within the index reach,signifying the importance of that area as
spawning habitat.Based on peak counts,the estimated escapement to
middle-reach streams was about 26,700 fish in 1984.

Susitna River stock (AOF&G 1982).The suspected contribution is in the
range of 80 to 90 percent (Barrett et ale 1984).Within the Susitna
River system,there are a minimum of 45 chum spawning populations (ADF&G
1982).The principle spawning areas are in the Talkeetna River drainage
(Barrett et al 1984).
The minimum chum salmon escapements to the Susitna River have been
reported for the last three years at 282,700 fish (1981),458,200 fish
(1982)and 276,600 fish (1983)(Barrett et al.1984).These estimates
reflect only the escapements to Yentna and Sunshine stations.In 1984,
the mi nimum chum sa lmon escapement was about 812,700 fi sh,based on a
Petersen estimate derived from a first year tagging operation at
Flathorn Station (Section 3.4).
Lower-river chum escapements for the last four years to Yentna Station
averaged 21,200 fish,and to Sunshine Station,431,000 fish (Table 49).
The combined 1984 escapement to those stations was 75 percent above the
four-year average.Most of the increase was at Sunshine Station.The
Flathorn escapement in 1984 was about 812,700 fish,three percent above
the combined Yentna and Sunshine stations escapement for the same year
(Figure 73).Essentially all of the Susitna River escapement reached
Flathorn Station.Below that station,chum have been documented only in
Alexander Creek (ADF&G 1982),where the highest recorded count was 500
chum in 1963.

Figure 74.Susitna River chum salmon escapements by station for
1981-84.
During all four years,a high portion of the middle-river escapement
spawned in the lower reach,mainly in the Talkeetna River drainage.For
example,in 1981 and 1982 several radio-tagged chum released at
Talkeetna and Curry stations spawned in the lower reach.In 1984,about
75 and 45 percent of the escapements to those stati ons were mi 11 i ng
chum that spawned downstream.
In the lower river,chum salmon were abundant from the second week of
July to the last week of August,with a peak the last week of July or
the fi rst week of August (Fi gure 75).In the mi ddl e reach,they were
abundant from the third week of July to the last week of August.Peak
abundance was in the first week of August.

In 1984,nearly all the chum destined for Yentna and Sunshine stations
traveled in the east channel past Flathorn Station.Apparently most of
the Yentna Station fish crossed to the west side of the Susitna River in
the six miles before the Yentna River confluence.
Migration speeds were slower in the lower river than in the middle river
(Table 63).The slower migration speeds in the lower river may be
associated with milling at major river confluences.
Returning chum ranged in age from two to six years old (Table 64).Most
were four-year-olds,except in 1983 when the majority were five-year-
olds.Average fish lengths ranged from 584 to 609 mm for all four years
(Table 65).Generally males were more plentiful than females.

A study in 1983 at Sunshine Station indicated an average chum fecundity

stocks (Bakkala 1970).
In the lower reach above the Susitna/Yentna confluence,chum spawning
was documented in the mainstem,sloughs and stream mouths.
In 1981,six lower-reach mainstem sites were identified,all between RM
68.3 and 97.0.Approximately 180 chum spawned in those areas.In 1982,
no mainstem chum spawning'was documented.Appropriate surveys were not

1984,when 12 mainstem spawning areas were found,all between RM 62.1
and 98.0.Approximately 2,700 chum utilized those sites.None of the
12 sites identified in 1984 were spawning areas in 1981.Spawning
estimates for both years were based on the assumption that about
one-thi rod of the spawners were present at the time the hi ghest counts
were rec:orded.Visibility in the mainstem has been generally poor in
early September with high flows and turbidity.From late September to
freeze-up (mid-October),visibility improves.It was during that period
that most of the 1981 and 1984 chum spawning was documented.In both
years,'it was likely that peak spawning occurred about mid-September,
and that spawning ceased by the second week of October.
In the lower reach above the Susitna/Yentna confluence,1984 surveys
documented five spawning sloughs,used by about 900 chums.Spawning
extended from mid-September to mid-October,probably peaking the last
week of ,September.Ninety percent of that spawning occurred in Cache
(RM 96.0)and Musher (RM 95.2)sloughs.
Chum salmon used 10 of 17 lower-reach stream mouths for passage,and to
a lesser extent for spawning.Approximately 100 to 225 chum spawned in
mouth areas in 1984.Mo~t stream-mouth spawning occurred from the first
to third weeks of August.
In the middle reach,chum spawning also occured in the mainstem,sloughs
and streams.
Most middle-reach mainstem spawning was found in 1984 surveys (Table
66).However.during 1981-82 surveys,visibility was poor in the
mainstem due"to high flows and turbidity,and some spawning areas
141
probably were missed.In addition,more spawning in the mainstem
probably occurred in 1984 than other years due to the record-high
escapement.In the last four years,almost all mainstem spawning areas
were above Curry Station.Spawning occurred in September and early
October,with the peak between the second and third weeks of September.

the Susitna River middle reach in 19S1-84 and the corre-
sponding highest fish counts.

In 1984,about 3,800 chums spawned in the mainstem middle reach.No
estimates of the three previous spawning escapements are available
because of inefficient sampling associated with high water and
turbidity.
Since 1981,twelve str~ams in the middle reach have been used for
spawning by chum salmon,with highest incidences in Indian River and
Portage Creek.Spawning in middle-reach streams occurred fro~the
fourth week of July to the second week of September,and peaked ln the
last two weeks of August.Based on index counts,the highest stream
escapements were in 1984 (Table 67).
In 1983 and 1984,Indian River and Portage Creek spawning surveys were
expanded beyond the index areas to the full 1engths of the streams.
Expanded surveys were not performed at other streams because essentially
all spawning occurred in index areas.At Indian River,the majority of
sp~wning occurred in the index area (Tables 67 and 68).At Portage
Creek,most spawni ng occurred above the index area.These creeks
averaged 92 percent of the enti re chum mi ddl e-river stream escapement
for the last two years,which was about 3,000 fish in 1983 and 7,600
fish in 1984.
Thirty-two sloughs in the middle reach have been u~Qd by chum salmon in
the last four years (Table 69).In order of importance,most of the
spawning was in sloughs 9,8A,11 and 21.Slough escapements totaled
5,200 chum in 1981,4,500 in 1982,2,950 in 1983 and 14,650 in 1984.
The four-year average escapement was 6,800.All slough escapements were
calculated using 1983 and 1984 observed-residence data and survey
counts.The average observed residence of a chum in a slough was 6.9
days in 1983 and 6.8 days in 1984.Observed-residence studies were not
conducted prior to 1983.

Spawning in middle-reach sloughs extended from the second week of August
to the 'last week of September.Peak spawning occurred in the first week
of Septlember,about one to two weeks later than in nearby streams.
Egg retention at sloughs in the middle river averaged 114 and 463
eggs per female in 1983 and 1984.Median retentions were five and .one
eggs per female respectively.The higher figure may have been
associ ated with the record-hi gh escapement.Bakka 1a (1970)reported
that egg retention normally increased with spawner density.Egg
retention was not studied in 1981 or 1982.
4.5 Coho Salmon
The Susitna River is the largest single coho-salmon-producing system in
Upper Cook Inlet,annually contributing about 50 percent of the
commercial harvest in the district (AOF&G 1982,1983).Susitna River
coho also contribute to a growing recreational fishery (Mills 1983).
Within the Susitna River drainage,there are a minimum of 25 spawning
populations,most of which spawn in the lower reach below Sunshine
Station (AOF&G 1982,1983).
Since 1981,Susitna River coho escapements have been 37,000 (1981),
80,000 (1982)and 24,100 (1983)(Barrett et al.1984).These estimates
do not include escapements to systems below Sunshine Station except the
Yentna River.Based on population studies at Flathorn Station,the 1984
Susitna River coho escapement was 190,100 fish (Section 3.5).
145
---------------,---------------------,---
Lower-river coho escapements for the last four years to Yentna Station
averaged 19,600 fish and to Sunshine Station 43,900 fish (Figure 76).
The combined 1984 escapement to those stations was the highest on record
and 80 percent higher than the four-year average (Figure 77).This was
due mainly to the large escapement at Sunshine Station.The Flathorn
escapement in 1984 was about 190,100 fish or 40 percent higher than the
same-year combined Yentna and Sunshine escapement.
Since 1981 annual middle reach escapements to Talkeetna Station have
averaged 5,700 coho,and to Curry Station 1,600 coho.The 1984
escapement to Talkeetna Stati on was about double the previ ous record
escapement of 1982.However,the 1984 Curry Station escapement,while
above average,was 200 fish less than the 1982 record escapement,
indicating that most of the 1984 escapement increase was downstream of
Curry.
Coho escapement to the middle river was largely comprised of milling
fish which ultimately spawned in the lower reach.In 1981 radio
telemetry studies,three of six cohos tagged at Talkeetna Station and
three of four tagged at Curry Station spawned below those sites.In
1982 radio telemetry studies,10 of 11 coho tagged at Talkeetna and one
of five tagged at Curry spawned downstream.There was no radio
telemetry study or full survey coverage of spawning areas in 1983,but
1984 spawning area surveys indicated that 75 percent of the Talkeetna
Station escapement and 45 percent of the Talkeetna Station escapement
were milling fish.Proximity to the confluence of the Talkeetna,
Chulitna and Susitna rivers probably accounts for the high Talkeetna
milling percentage.
The reaches upstream of Sunshine Station supported most of the coho
return.In 1984,10 percent of the basin-wide escapement returned to
spawn within the Yentna River drainage,40 percent returned to areas
between the Yentna River mouth and Sunshine Station,and 50 percent
returned to spawning grounds above Sunshine Station.Specific spawning
areas within the lower and middle reaches are discussed later in this
section.
Coho were abundant in the lower river from the third week of July to the
third week of August.In the middle reach,they were abundant from the
last week of July to the first week of September (Figure 78).
In 1984,most coho destined for Yentna and Sunshine stations migrated in
the east channel past Flathorn Station.Apparently~Yentna populations
crossed to the west channel of the Susitna River before the Yentna River
confluence.Annual migrations past Yentna and Sunshine were mainly
along the south and east banks.At Talkeetna Station,most coho ran
along the west bank.Migration was evenly divided between east and west
banks at Curry.
Coho salmon migration rates in the lower river were slower between
Flathorn and Yentna stations than between Flathorn and Sunshine stations
(Table 70).The slower migration rate may be associated with milling at
the Susitna/Yentna confluence.Fish migration rates between Sunshine
and Talkeetna stations were slower than between Talkeetna and Curry
stations.This was probably due to milling during passage through the
confluence area of the Talkeetna,Chulitna and Susitna rivers.

The age-spread for returning cohos was three to five years,with
four-ye,ar-olds most abundant (Table 71).An exception was the 1982
escapement to Talkeetna and Curry stations,when three-year-olds
compri sled a majority.Average 1engths ranged from 517 to 559 mm ina 11
years (Table 72).Males were usually more abundant than females.
The average coho fecundity at Sunshine Station in 1984 was 2,800 eggs
per female.This was slightly greater (by 360 eggs per female)than
reported by Hart (1973).
Coho spawning in the lower mainstem was limited.No spawning was
documented in 1981 and 1982;no surveys were conducted in 1983.In
1984,approximately 330 coho spawned in two mainstem sites located at RM
87.5 and 94.5.Spawning occurred during the last two weeks of September
and the first two weeks of October.
Sloughs were rarely utilized by coho.One site (RM 57.0)was verified
when lower-river slough surveys were instituted in 1984.Six coho were
observed spawning there on October 13.Four years of mi ddl e-river
surveys confirmed only one site at Slough 8A,where two coho were
observed spawning on October 2,1982.
Susitna River coho salmon spawned almost exclusively in lower-and
middle-river streams.In the lower river,they were observed in 11 of
the 17 stream mouths surveyed in 1984.Coho uti 1ized those areas for
either passage or milling,but no spawning was observed.
In the middle river,coho salmon utilized 12 streams.In order of
importance,the major spawning occurred at Gash Creek,Whi skers Creek,
Chase Creek and Indian River (Table 73).In 1984,coho spawning
occurred at the mouths of Whiskers,Slash,Fourth of July and Portage
creeks.Stream-spawning in the middle river occurred from the first
week of September to the second week of October,and peaked in the last
tWQ weeks of September during the study years.
The 1984 surveys of major coho streams in the middle reach included each
streams entire spawning range (Table 74).Based on the peak counts of
those surveys,stream escapements to Indi an Ri ver and Whi skers Creek,
the two most important coho producers,were 930 and 602 fish.The 1984
escapement to all middle-reach streams was an estimated 2,900 fish.

INTRODUCTION
The proposed hydroel ectri c project may impact fi sh resources in the
lower Susitna River through changes in flow,water quality and
temperature in the slough,side channel,main channel,and stream
mouth habitats.Information on the di stribution,timi ng and magnitude
of salmon spawning in these habitats is necessary to assess impacts and
to plan appropriate mitigation measures.
OBJECTIVES
1)Identify distribution,timing and abundance of salmon spawning in
main channel,side channel,slough and stream mouth habitats o~the
lower Susitna River (RM 28.0 -98.6)..
2)Identify the general habitat characteristics of those areas
utilized by spawning salmon.
Anadromous fish species addressed in this report are:
-Pacific Salmon
Chinook salmon
Sockeye salmon
Pink salmon
Chum salmon
Coho salmon

METHODS
Mainstem and Slough Habitats
An aerial survey from RM 26.0 to 96.0 was conducted by R &M Consultants
on March 18,1983 (Coffin 1983).The open water leads observed during
that survey were mapped as possible salmon spawning sites (Figure 1).
No attempt was made to distinguish between velocity and warm water
leads.Salmon,particularly chum,often select warm water upwelling
areas for spawning (Vining et al.1985;Bakkala 1970;Kogl 1965'.
Aerial surveys in the lower-river study reach (Figure 2)were conducted
weekly from August 21 to October 17,1984 to locate salmon spawning
sites (Plate 1).Suspected spawning sites identified from the air,were
resurveyed on foot to verify spawning.Verification was determined
through visual observation of salmon redds (Plate 2)and/or locating
salmon egg~in the substrate with standard egg pumping equipment (Plate
3).Spawn 1 og a reas were mapped with the spec i es,numbers of 1i ve and
dead salmon,number of redds and upwelling noted.More detailed
methods can be found in Barrett et al.(1985).
Stream Mouth Habitats
Seventeen lower-river stream mouths between RM 28 and 98.6 were surveyed
weekly from July 21 to October 1,1984 (Table 1).The primary
objectives of these surveys were to determine the distribution,timing
and magnitude of salmon spawning.

The term stream mouth refers to the segment of stream extending from its
confluence with the Susitna River mainstem,side-channel or slough to a
distance one-thi rd mil e upstream.Data recorded duri ng each weekl y
survey included the species and number of salmon present and if spawning
was observed.To determine if spawning occurred the following criteria
were used:
A23
1)
2)
3)
visual identification of one or more actively mating fish
pairs;
one or more distinct redds;
confirmed presence of live eggs by intragravel sampling.
Surface substrate was assessed in accordance wi th standard procedures
(ADF&G 1983dL
A profile of each stream mouth was developed by measuring the depth,at
two foot intervals,along one or two transects.Stream mouth profiles
were dete~,ined for two Susitna River discharges.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Mainstem Habitats
The Susitna River mainstem is comprised of main-channel and side-channel
habitats.Sautner et al.(1984)describes the main channel habitat in
the middle reach of the Susitna River as being characterized by high
water velocities and well-armored streambeds.~1ain-channel habitat
downstream of the Chulitna River confluence has different
characteristics than similar habitat in the middle reach.The main
channel in the lower reach is highly braided and in places,not easily
distinguishable.Main channel substrates in the lower river are
generally less armored and less stable than those of the middle river.
As a result,the morphological character of main-channel habitats in the
lower river often changes during high mainstem discharges.Side-channel
habitat is characterized by shallower depths,lower velocities and
smaller streambed materials than the adjacent habitat of the main
channel river (Sautner et al.1984).Side channels in the lower river
are often difficult to distinguish from the braided main-channel
habitats.Side-channel habitats have generally narrower channels that
are separated from the main channel by stable vegetated islands.For
the purposes of this study,however,both main channel and side-channel
habitats have been classified as mainstem habitats since our ability to
distinguish between the two habitat types on the basis of their physical
and hydraulic characteristics was limited.
Survey conditions prior to lat~September were poor due to high water
and turbidity levels.As a result,earlier surveys may not have
documented all of the spawning activity present.A flood in early
September eliminated signs of spawning prior to that time.Lower water
and turbidity levels beginning in late September improved visibility
conditions which increased the frequency and accuracy of spawning
observations.
Twelve mainstem spawning sites were identified in 1984 (Figure 3L
Chum salmon spawned in 11 of these sites and coho salmon spawned at two.
The other salmon species were not observed spawning in the mainstem.
Maps and habitat descriptions of the 12 spawning sites can be found in
Appendix A.

The majority of mainstem spawning was documented from late September
until mid-October,just prior to freeze up.High mainstem discharges
and turbidity in early September limited our ability to observe earlier
spawning activity.Based on the escapement counts at mainstem sites,it
is likely that the peak of chum salmon spawning occurred during the
first two weeks of September.Chum salmon spawning was essentially over
bv the second week of October.From the limited data available,it
appears that the peak of coho spawning in mainstem sites occurred around
the second week of October.
A conservative estimate of between 2,600 too 3,900 chum salmon spawned at
mainstem sites in the lower Susitna River.This represents between 0.3
to 0.5 percent of the 1984 Susitna River escapement (Barrett et ale
1985).Observed residence studies conducted in 1983 and 1984 have
determined that a peak count represents about 50 percent of a spawning
escapement.The highest fish count (live and dead)for mainstem sites
was probably not made at the peak spawning period due to high mains tern
discharges and turbidity.Using this assumption,an expansion factor of
three was used to detennine the upper 1imit of the range (Barrett et ale
1985).Coho salmon exhibited a range of 200 to 400 fish spawning in two
mainstem sites.This is between 0.1 to 0.2 percent of the 1984 Susitna
River escapement.
The majority of the chum salmon spawning occurred at:Trapper Creek
side channel (RM 90.3l);Sunset side channel (RM 87.0R);the Chulitna
River mouth (RM 98.6l)and Circular side channel (RM 75.0L).
Collectively,these sites supported 90 percent of the spawning while the
other eight sites had the remaining 10 percent,based on survey counts.
Trapper Creek side channel had 96 percent of the coho salmon spawni ng
while Sunset side channel had the remaining four percent,based on
survey counts.Surveys conducted by the Aquati c Habitat and Ins tream
Flow Study of the Susitna Hydro Project indicated that several of these
sites may °have had more util ization than our survey counts indicate
(Bigler 1985a).
Upwelling (Plate 4),bank seepage (Plate 5)or open leads in winter
were observed at 10 of the 12 spawning sites.The major chum salmon
spawning sites and the two coho salmon spawning sites all had associated
upwelling or bank seepage.It is likely that some degree of upwelling
occurs at the remaining sites although it was not detected during our
surveys.Other studies have shown that chum salmon select upwelling
areas in which to spawn (Vining et ale 1985;Bakkala 1970;Kogl 1965).
Slough Habitats
Slough habitats can be divided into two types:upland sloughs and side
sloughs.The main difference between the two types is that the upstream
end of an upland slough does not connect with the mainstem even at high
mainstem discharges (Sautner et ale 1984).A feature that distinguishes
side slough habitat from side-channel habitat is that side sloughs
usually convey clear water from small tributaries and/or upwelling
groundwater in an unbreached condition (Sautner et ale 1984).All of
the slough salmon spawning sites located in this study fall in the side
slough category.

-,----------------'---~--------~--~----_.-----------
Survey conditi ons encountered in slough surveys were simil ar to those
encountered in the mainstem.Survey conditions improved as mainstem
discharges fell in late fall ~which increased the frequency and accuracy
of spawning observations.
Spawning was observed in six sloughs (Figure 4)~five of which were used
.by chum salmon and one by coho salmon.The other salmon species were
not observed spawning in lower-river sloughs.t1aps and habitat
descriptions of the six sloughs can be found in Appendix A.
Slough spawning by chum and coho salmon was documented in late September
and early October as visibil ity improved just prior to freeze up.,t.Lis
probable /tha-t-earlter sp~~ning occurred.that was not obser'led-·dueto
hlgtr-ma:fnstem discharges and turbidity.The peak of spawning in lower-
river slough-sites appears to foll ow a pattern similar to the rna instem.
Peak chum salmon spawning probably occurred the first two weeks of
September and was essentially over by the second week in October.
Similarly~the peak coho salmon spawning,in the single slough site,
occurred during the second week of October.
Using procedures outl ined in Barrett et al.(1985',it was estimated
that 700 to 1,000 chum and 10 to 20 coho spawned in slough sites in the
lower ri ver.Both of these ranges are 1ess than 0.1 percent of the
Susitna River escapement.
~10st of the spawni ng occurred at Cache Creek 510ugh (RM 96.Ol)and
Musher Slough (RM 95.2R).Collectively,these sloughs supported 90
percent of the spawning while the other three sloughs supported the
remaining 10 percent as determined by spawning ground counts.The only
slough found to have spawning coho salmon was Rustic Wilderness Slough
(RM 57.0R),in which six fish and nine redds were observed.
Four sloughs,in which salmon spawned~had associated upwelling~bank
seepage or were identified as an open lead area.Cache Creek Slough~
which had most of the chum salmon spawning~had no visible upwelling or
bank seepage.Cache Creek flows into the slough and probably provides
adequate intragravel flows that attracted the spawning.
Stream -Mouth Habitats
Descriptions of individual stream-mouth habitat characteristics al'1d a
summary of adult salmon use is provided in Appendix B.Also included in
Appendix B a-e maps depicting the spawning areas within each stream
mouth.Additional habitat and stream-mouth depth profiles are provided
in Appendix D.
The Deshka River was not specifically included in the survey program
because hi gh densities of sport fi shermen use the stream mouth,and
water depths and lack of clarity thwarted definitive results.
Historically,chinook,sockeye,pink and coho salmon have spawned in
this drainage (ADF&G 1982b).

Chinook Salmon
The chinook migration at Sunshine Station was essentially complete 15
days prior to the first survey on July 21 (Barrett et al.1985).
Therefore,assessment of spawning and passage in stream mouths was not
representative of the entire migration.
Chinook salmon used five stream mouths for either passage to upstream
spawning areas or as holding areas prior to continuation of their
Susitna River migration.The most important were Birch and Montana
creeks (Table 2 and Appendix Table C-3).Twenty-six of the 39 fish
counted were at these stream mouths.

Chi nook were documented in lower-river stream mouths from July 23 to
August 21 (Appendix Table C-3).Sport fish harvests and fishwheel
catches at Sunshine Station indicate chinook salmon are generally
abundant in the lower ri ver and probably stream mouths begi nn i ng in
early June (ADF&G 1983a).
Chinook did not spawn in the five stream mouths they occupied (Appendix
Table 8-1).
The Deshka River,not included in the lower river survey program,was a
major chinook-producing system.Spawning pr~bably did not occur in the
mouth of the Deshka because a 1984 assessment of the substrate indicate
a composition of primarily silt and sand,which is not preferred by
chinook for spawning (Burner 1951).Passage through the mouth of the
Deshka River began in May and probably ended,as in other lower-river
stream mouths,sometime in August.

-
Sockeye Salmon,
Sockeye salmon were observed in eight of 17 lower-river streams surveyed
between July 23 and October 1 (Appendix Table C-3).All sockeye
observed during these surveys were second-run fish.First-run sockeye
had completely passed Sunshine Station by June 28 and were known to
spawn above Rf~28 in only the Fish Creek drainage (Tal keetna River
System)(Barrett et al.1985).
Sockeye salmon utilized eight lower-river stream mouths for either
passage or holding.Most (88%)of the 608 sockeye were observed in
Willow,Birch,Goose and Fish creeks (Table 3).Sockeye were present in
stream mouths from July 23 to September 1 (Appendix Table C-3).
Ashton and Trihey (1985)reported possible fish access problems into
several lower-river streams at with-project flows.Sockeye occupied
three of these areas:Goose and Rabideaux creeks and Fish Creek,which
enters Kroto Slough.A combined 25 percent of the sockeye were observed
at these stream mouths (Table 3).

High Susitna River discharges have been associated with alterations in
salmon migration behavior,either slowing or stopping upstream movement
(ADF&G 1983c;Barrett et al.1984,1985).Stream mouths increase in
area during high discharges due co Susitna River backwater effects and
probab 1y were more important as ho 1di ng areas dur;ng these peri ods.
Ashton and Trihey (1985)identified five stream mouths,in which sockeye
were observed,where with-project flows may moderately decrease the
backwater area.These were Birch,Fish,Sunshine,Little ~lil1ow and
Rabideaux creeks.
,~
A31
Sockeye salmon were not observed spawning in any lower-river stream
mouths (Appendix Table B-1).Although the Oeshka River was not included
in the survey program,there was probably no spawning at the mouth of
this river because the substrate was primarily a silt-sand composition,
not suitable for spawning (Burner 1951).
Pink Salmon
Lower-river streams supported most of the Susitna River basin pi nk
salmon spawning in 1984.Approximately 60 percent of the 3.6 mill ion
Susitna River pink escapement spawned in lower-river streams between
Flathorn and Sunshine stations excluding the Yentna River (Barrett et
ale 1985).
In 1984,pink salmon used 12 lower-river stream mouths for either
passage to upstream spawning areas or as holding areas during their
Susitna River migration (Table 4 and Appendix Table C-3).A total of
5,941 fish were counted in these streams during peak surveys.Most
(76%)were in Willow,Sunshine and Birch creeks.Pinks were observed in
stream mouths from July 28 to September 9,and were most abundant during
the first two weeks of August.Passage did not appear to be a problem
at natural flows,but may be restricted during with-project flows at
Caswell,Goose,Montana and Trapper creeks,whi ch coll ective ly accounted
for 12 percent of the fish counted in stream mouths.

An estimated 4,500 to 9,000 pinks spawned in 10 of the 12 occupi ed
stream mouths 'Table 5).Most (75%)of the spawning occurred in Willow,
Sunshine and Birch creeks.Specific spawning locations \I/ithin each
stream mouth are provided in Appendix B.All spawning occurred between
July 28 and September 8 and peaked during the first two weeks of August.

Pink salmon spawned in gravel-rubble substrates at the 10 stream mouths.
This was consistent with the results of previous Susitna River studies
(ADF&G 1983b).
Historically,pink salmon have used the mouth of the Deshka River for
passage and possibly as a holding area (ADF&G 1982).Spawning probably
do~s not occur in this stream mouth because the substrate was primarily
comprised of silt and sand,not the preferred spawning substrate for
salmon (ADF&G 1983b).
Chum Salmon
The lower river,between Fl athorn and Sunshine stati ons excl udi ng the
Yentna River,supported about three percent of the 1984 chum salmon
spawning.in the Susitna River basin (Barrett et al.1985).
Chum salmon utilized 10 stream mouths for either passage to upstream
spawning areas or as holding areas during migration (Table 6 and
Appendi x Table C-3).Goose,Wi 11 ow and Sheep creeks were the most
important of those,with 72 percent of the fish.Chum were present in
lower-reach stream mouths from July 27 to September 24.Peak abundance
was in the last week of August and the first week of September.
Ashton and Trihey (1985)predicted potential fish-access problems into
Caswell,Goose,Montana and Trapper creeks at with-project flows.
Fi fty-three percent of the chum were located in these stream mouths
(Table 6).

Chum salmon spawned in five lower-river stream mouths (Table 7).Total
number of spawners was in the range oT 100 to 225 fish.Most were at
Caswell Creek.Spawning occurred from the second week of August through
the third week of September and reached a peak during the last week of
August and first week of September.

Chum may have used the Deshka River mouth as a holding area,but there
was no evidence of spawning there.The substrate·was a silt-sand
composition unsuitable for spawning (ADF&G 1983b).There is no
documentation of this species spawning upstream in the Deshka River
drainage (ADF&G 1982).
Coho Salmon
Lower-river streams supported about 50 percent of the 1984 Susitna River
basin-wide coho salmon spawning (Barrett et ale 1985).
Coho salmon util ized el even stream mouths for either passage or as.
holding areas (Table 8 and Appendix Table C-3).Most (84%)of the 1,430
fish counted were in Willow Creek.Coho occupied stream mouths from
August 6 to September 27.Peak abundance occurred in the third week of
August.
Of the stream mouths utilized by coho salmon,Whitsol,Caswell,Goose
and Montana creeks may have restricted access at with-project flows
(Ashton and Trihey 1985).Those streams accounted for about 12 percent
of the coho peak survey counts at lower reach stream mouths.
Coho salmon did not spawn in any of the 17 lower-river stream mouths
surveyed (Appendix Table B-1).Historically,the Deshka River has been
utilized for passage and holding (ADF&G 1982).It was unlikely that
coho spawned here because the substrate was comprised of mainly silt and
sand,unsuitable for spawning (Burner 1951).

SUM~1ARY
Mainstem Habitats
Mainstem habitat is comprised of both main-channel and side-channel
habitats.Due to the braided configuration and somewhat unstable nature
of the lower Susitna River,it is sometimes difficult to distinguish
between the two habitat types.In 1984,12 mainstem spawning sites were
identified.Chum and coho salmon were the only species observed
spawning in the mainstem.Chum salmon utilized 11 of the areas while
coho salmon spawned in only two.Poor visibility conditions due to high
mainstem dis~harges and turbidity limited documentation of spawning
prior to late September.Using survey counts,it is likely that chum
salmon spawning peaked during the first two weeks in September,while
coho salmon spawning peaked around the second week in October.A
conservative estimate of between 2,600 and 3,900 chum salmon and 200 to
400 coho salmon spawned in mainstem sites in the lower Susitna River
during 1984.Upwelling,bank seepage or open leads were observed at 10
of the 12 spawning sites.
Slough Habitats
All of the slough habitats found to contain spawning salmon in the lower
Susitna River were in side sloughs.Alteration of channel morphology at
high discharges may change a slough site to a side channel site.Poor
visibility limited the accuracy of surveys until after late September.
Six slough spawning sites were located in the lower river,five of these
sites were used by chum salmon and one by coho salmon.It appears that
the timing of spawning in the sloughs follows a similar pattern to that
of the mainstem.Chum salmon probably peak during the first two weeks
of September with coho salmon peaking during the second week of October.
Between 700 to 1,000 chum salmon and 10 to 20 coho salmon are estimated
to have spawned in sloughs~Only four of the sloughs were observed to
have upwelling,bank seepage or open leads.Cache Creek may be
providing adequate intragrave1 flow in one of the remaining sites.
Stream Mouth Habitats
Seventeen lower-river stream mouths were surveyed for adult salmon from
July 21 to October 1.Pink salmon were most widely distributed,
occupying 12 stream mouths and chinook occupying only five.Coho,chum
and sockeye were observed in 11,10 and 8 stream mouths,respectively.
Salmon were present in stream mouths from July 23 to September 27.
Only pink and chum salmon spawned in lower-river stream mouths in 1984.
Approximately 4,'=:00 to 9,000 pinks spawned in 10 stream mouths.Five
stream mouths supported in the range of 100 to 225 chum spawners.Pinks
spawned from July 28 to September 8.The peak occurred during the first
two weeks of August.Chum salmon spawned from the second week of August
through the third week of September.Peak spawffing occurred during the
last week of August and first week of September.
Both pink and chum salmon selected gravel-rubble substrates for
spawni ng.Neither speci es spawned ins i It-sand substrates.Thi s was
consistent with previous ADF&G Su Hydro study results (ADF&G 1983b).

Historically,chinook,sockeye,pink and coho salmon have passed through
the Deshka River stream mouth enroute to upstream spawning areas (ADF&G
1982).Examination of the stream-mouth revealed a silt-sand substrate
and therefore,it was concluded that salmon did not spawn here.

GLOSSARY
Genera 1 characteri sti cs of habitat cl ass i fi cati ons that are associ ated
with the Susitna River (adapted from Sautner et ale 1984).
...;;.S...;..id,;,;,;e;;..-...;;S;,.;.l..;;.o,;;;.ug~h..;....;.H,;,;;;a,;;;.b...;..it..;...a:;..t;;..;..:Consists of those portions of the Susitna River
that usually convey water throughout the year.Both
single and multiple channel reaches are included in
this habitat category.Groundwater and tributary
inflow appear to be inconsequential contributors to the
overall characteristics of main-channel habitat.Main-
channel habitat is typically characterized by high
water velocities and well-armored streambeds.
Substrates generally consist of boulder and cobble size
materials with interstitial spaces filled with a
grout-like mixture of small gravels and glacial sands.
Suspended sediment concentrations and turbidity are
high during summer months due to the influence of
glacial melt-water.Discharges recede in early fall
and the main channel clears appreciably in October.
Mainstem Habitat:Consists of main-channel and side-channel habitats.
Side-Channel Habitat:Consists of those portions of the Susitna River---------------tUh~a~t normally convey water during the open water season
but become appreciably dewatered during periods of low
main channel discharge.Side-channel habitat may exist
either in well defined overflow channels,or in poorly
defi ned channels fl owi ng th rough pa rt i all y submerged
gravel bars and islands along the margins of the main
channel river.Side-channel streambed elevations are
.typically lower than the mean monthly water surface
elevations of the main channel Susitna River observed
during June,July and August.Side-channel habitats
are characterized by shallower depths,lower velocities
and smaller streambed materials than the adjacent
habitat of the main-channel river.
Side-Slough Habitat:This habitat is located in overflow channels~~~~~~~~b~e~tween the edge of the floodplain and the main channel
and side channels of the Susitna River.It is usually
separated from the main channel and side channels by
well vegetated bars.An exposed alluvial berm often
separates the head of the slough from main channel
discharge
or side channel flows.The controlling
streambed/bank el evati ons at the upstream end of the
side sloughs are slightly less than the water surface
elevations of the mean monthly discharges of the
mainstem Susitna River observed for June,July and
August.At intermediate and low-discharge periods,the
side sloughs convey clear water from small tributaries

and/or upwelling groundwater.These clear water
inflows are essential contributors to the existence of
this habitat type.The water surface elevation of the
Susitna River generally causes a backwater area to
extend well up into the slough from its lower end.
Even though this substantial backwater area exists,the
sloughs function hydraulically very much like small
stream systems and several hundred feet of the slough
channel often conveys water independent of mai nstem
backwater effects.At high discharges,the water
surface elevation .of,the mainstem river is sufficient
to overtop the upper end of the slough.Surface water
temperatures in the side sloughs during summer months
are principally a function of air temperature,solar
radiation,and the temperature of the local runoff.
Stream Habitat:Consists of full complement of hydraulic and
morphologic conditions that occur in the streams.
Their seasonal flow,sediment,and thermal regimes
reflect the integration of the hydrology,geology,and
climate of the stream drainage.The physical
attributes of stream habitat are not dependent on
mainstem conditions.

upstream end of the slough does not interconnect with
the surface waters of the main-channel Susitna River or
it side channels even at high mainstem discharges.
These sloughs are characterized by the presence of
beaver dams and an accumulation of silt covering the
substrate resulting from the absence of mainstem
scouring discharges.

APPENDIX A
Site descriptions and maps of mainstem and slough salmon spawning areas
located in the lower Susitna River between RM 28.0 and 98.6 in 1984.
A45
l~
--
The following salmon spawning site descriptions are those located during
1984.They are ordered starting with the downstream most spawning site
and moving upstream.
RM 57.0R
This is a slough spawning site located adjacent to the east bank side
channel near the Rustic Wilderness subdivision (Appendix Figure A-I).
It is the only slough site to be utilized by coho salmon.A survey on
October 13,1984 located six live coho salmon and nine redds.Based on
the number of redds,thi"s site was probably utilized by a greater number
of salmon than were counted on this single survey.Upwelling was
present throughout the spawning site.
RM 62.1R
This mainstem spawning site was observed immediately downstream of the
mouth of Caswell Slough (Appendix Figure A-2).This site is separated
from the main channel,at low discharges by an exposed gravel bar.A
survey on October 9,1984 identified five redd sites with two live and
six dead chum salmon.Upwelling was also observed.The upwelling
observation coincides with the open lead observations made in this area
by R&M Consultants,Inc.on March 18,1983 (Coffin 1983).
Rt1 63.?R
This is a minor slough spawning site located near the mouth of Caswell
9""Creek Slough (Appendix Figure A-3).Four 1ive chum salmon and three
redds were observed during a survey conducted on October 11,1984.
Upwelling was observed in the vicinity of the spawning area.The
influence of Caswell Creek Slough may also have had an influence on fish
selecting this as a spawning site.
RM 71.6R
Twel ve redds were observed at RM 71.6R on October 9,1984 (Appendix
Figure A-4).These redds were assumed to be chum salmon redds.No live
fish were observed but eight dead chum salmon were in this vicinity.
This side channel site,located near the head of Sheep Creek Slough,is
separated from the main channel Susitna River by gravel bars that are
exposed at low discharges.Bank seepage was observed at this site.
RM 73.9C
A main et.~nnel chum salmon spawning site was located at RM 73 ..9C,near
Goose Creek Slough (Appendix Figure A-5).It is located in the center
of the channel on a gravel bar disected by the mainstem Susitna River.
Only sma 11 portions of thi s compl ex are vegetated,indi cating frequent
inundation by the mainstem.A survey conducted on September 25,1984
found seven redd sites and three dead chum salmon.The number of redds
indicates that the site was utilized by a greater number of salmon than
were observed on the si ng1 e survey.The R&H survey i ndi cated an open
lead in this area.No upwelling was observed in this site.No observed
upwelling and the site being directly on the mainstem indicates that the
open lead may be velocity related.

RM 74.5R
This site is located at the upper end of Goose Creek Slough (Appendix
Figure A-5).It is a chum salmon spawning site with 12 redds counted
duri ng a survey on October 8,1984.Whi 1e no upwell i ng was observed,
the area has open leads,indicating the presence of upwelling.
RM 75.0L
This chum salmon spawning area,known as Circular Side Channel,is
bordered ~y stable vegetated islands (Appendix Figure A-6).The average
water depths in the spawning areas range from 0.5 to 4 feet.There are
two main spawning areas that are separated by a 75 foot riffle in which
no spawning occurred (Bigler 1985b L Upwell ing and bank seepage was
observed throughout the area.Approximately 30 redds and 68 live and 21
dead chum salmon were observed on September 25,1985.
RM 79.2L
Site 79.2L is a chum salmon spawning location off the mouth of Sauna
Slough (Appendix Figure A-7).The site is separated from the mainstem
by a sparsely vegetated gravel bar.Seven redds and 18 chum salmon were
observed on October 8,1984.The area has an open lead and bank seepage
was observed approximately one half mile upstream from the spawning
site.
RM 87.0R
This site is located in the Sunrise -Sunset Side Channel area (Appendix
Figure A-8).It had the second highest usage by chum salmon of all
mainstem sites found in 1984.This high usage is reflected in peak live
salmon counts of 173 fish and 48 redds observed.Numerous open leads
were observed in the area indicating possible presence of upwelling.
RM 87.5R
The upper Sunset Side Channel was utilized by a small number of coho
salmon (Appendix Figure A-9).Five coho salmon and three redds were
observed at this site on September 25,1984.Open leads are present at
this site.The open leads may be due to upwelling or the influence of
Birch Creek Slough,found immediately upstream.
RM 88.7R
A site upstream of the mouth of Birch Creek Slough is located directly
on the mainstem at RM 88.7R (Appendix Figure A-IO).The adjacent bank
is high and steep with bank seepage present.Twenty three chum salmon
and 11 redds were observed during a survey conducted on October 9,1984.
RM 89.5R
This slough spawning site utilized by chum salmon is located
approximately one mile upstream of the mouth of Birch Creek Slough
A47
(Appendix Figure A-10).Peak counts of 12 churn salmon and four redds
were observed on October 9,1984.While no upwelling was observed in
this specific site,bank seepage was observed in chum salmon spawning
sites located upstream and downstream of this site.
RM 90.1R
A side channel habitat located at RM 90.1R was utilized by spawning chum
salmon (Appendix Figure A-10).Bank seepage was observed during surveys
of this site.A survey on October 9,1984 observed 19 redds and 41 chum
salmon.Based on the number of redds and live fish observed this site
is the third most important mainstem spawning location in the lower
reach.
RM 90.3L
A side channel located near Trapper Creek from RM 9?.OC to RM 94.5L was
the most important mainstem spawning site located (Appendix Figures
A-ll and A-12).The channel is located along the left bank,separated
from the main channel by a broad,sparsely vegetated gravel bar.A
total of 90 redds were observed at this site.Due to the overlap of
areas utilized by spawning chum and coho salmon,it was impossible to
differentiate redds between the species.Surveys conducted between
September 23 and October 2,1984 observed 538 live chum salmon and 75
1 ive coho salmon.Upwell ing was observed extensively throughout this
site.An aerial survey conducted February 18,1985 found this siteoto
be the only one in the lower reach (RM 60-98)with open leads at -40 F.
Temperatures at -20 F and higher were warm enough to create numerous
open leads throughout this lower river reach.
RM 95.0C
A minor chum salmon spawning site was located at RM 95.0C (Appendix
Figure A-12).A single chum redd with eggs and three 'live chum salmon
were found in a pool behind a beaver dam.Part of this area is
vegetated indicating some present stability.No evidence of upwelling
was observed.
RM 95.2R
This chum salmon spawning site is located in Musher Slough (Appendix
Figure A-12).It is the most important slough spawning site in this
reach with 41 redds and 84 live churn salmon observed on September 18,
1984.Bank seepage was observed at this site.
RM 95.8L
This slough site is directly across from Musher Slough (Appendix Figure
A-12).It is called Cache Creek Slough since Cache Creek enters the
left bank at the upper end of the slough.Personnel conducted a survey
on September 27,1984 and counted 160 live chum salmon but only 4 redds.
The number of live fish to number of redds ratio is low compared to
other sites.The chum salmon located at this site may have been milling

prior to moving to other spawning sites or may have spawned at a later
date.No upwelling was observed at this site but the influence of Cache
Creek may make conditions suitable for chum salmon spawning.
RM 98.6L
Four individual chum salmon spawning sites were located in the braided
channels at the mouth .of the Chulitna River (RM 98.0L)(Appendix Figure
A-13).Collectively,this is the second most productive site located in
1984..A total of 51 redds and 116 chum salmon was observed during a
survey conducted on October 9,1984.Only one of the spawning sites had
observed upwelling associated with it.The entire area is unstable due
to yearly flood events.Sites utilized this year may be unavailable to
spawning salmon in following years.

Habitat data i ncl udi ng channel wi dth,depth and substrate components
were measured in the mouth reach of 18 lower Susitna River streams
located between RM 28.0 and 98.6 in 1984 (Appendix Figure 8-1).These
data were colliected at two mainstem discharges as measured by U.S.
Geological Survey at the Sunshine gaging station (RM 83.9)(Appendix
Table 8-1)•.Stream mouth profiles for each stream were also determined
at two discharges.Depictions of these profiles with associated
substrate types are present for each stream narrative.This appendix
presents those findings by stream and in addition,defines individual
use of the stream mouth reaches for adult salmon spawning and passage.
Appendix Table B-1 summarizes t.he habitat characteristics and adult
salmon use data for all lower Susitna River stream mouths sampled in
1984.
FISH CREEK (RM 31.2)
Stream Mouth Hat~Description
The stream mouth of Fish Creek was up to 150 feet wide and ten feet deep
at high discharges,but the average width was less than 120 feet with
average depths less than six feet (Appendix Table B-1).The primary

Figure B-2).
Adult Salmon USE!
-
....
Salmon did not spawn in the mouth reach of Fish Creek (RM 31.2)between
July 21 and October 1,1984.Two (1984)cross section transects
revealed a substrate composition of mainly silts and sands which
were unsuitable salmon spawning habitat (Appendix Figure B-2).The
mouth reach was a passage area for chinook and coho salmon spawning in
upstream habitats (ADF&G 1984).

1983b).The stream mouth was a passage area for chinook,sockeye,pink,
chum and coho salmon spawning in upstream habitats (Appendix Table D-1).
CACHE CREEK (RM 95.8)
Stream Mouth Habitat Description
In the stream mouth,Cache Creek was approximately 45 feet across and
less than two feet deep with clear water (Appendix Table B-1).
Substrates in the first third mile were primarily small gravel and
rubb 1e with one-ha 1f inch to two inches of si 1t overl ayi ng (Append ix
Figure 8-19).
