Details

The spawning WUA were derived from a FWS River2D model. The study is broken into several segments: Keswick to A.C.I.D. (3.5 mi), A.C.I.D. to Cow Creek (18.5 mi), Cow Creek to Battle Creek (8.5 mi), Battle Creek to Red Bluff (22.5 mi), and Red Bluff to Deer Creek (23.5 mi). The Upper Sacramento fall run spawning WUA values include the spawning that occurs in the Upper and Upper-mid Sacramento River (Keswick to Deer Creek). The Late-Fall Run, Winter Run, and Steelhead spawn from Keswick to Battle Creek. The A.C.I.D. boards are in April 1st - October 31st
