One serious log jam and num- erous minor ones. Small run of sockeye and spawn in river. Large areas suita- ble for spawning in upper portion of stream. Impassable log jams 3 miles above mouth. Good spawn- ing stream and would in- crease the spawning area available. Impassable log jams 3 to 4 miles above mouth. Im- portant spawning stream of this district. Log jams and brush block stream % mile from mouth. Formerly good spawning creek but only remnant of former run remains. Numerous log jams cause con- stant shifting of channel. Formerly excellent spawn- ing stream but now nearly void of fish. Beaver dam at mouth entirely blocks creek to salmon. This stream formerly sup- ported over 2/3 of the Bow- ron run. Four beaver dams on creek and spawning tributaries. Formerly important spawn- ing and nursery area. No sockeye can enter creek at present. Stream Location of Obstruction 30. Nicola River 31.
