Another step was taken by
the game commission recently
in the over • all study of Tri
angle lake at the head of the
Siuslaw river in Lane county
to determine the best possible
fisheries for the lake.
The commission will now ex
periment with steelhead and
silver salmon to test the feasi
bility of rearing these seago
ing game fish in the lake and
its tributary streams.
To get this part of the pro
gram under way. the commis
sion recently released 110 adult
steelhead in Condon creek
above the lake and 13.600 year
ling steelhead in the lake prop-
er. Silver salmon fingerlings
were also placed in the lake
through the cooperation of the
fish commission.
Spawning Soon
One week following the plant
ing of adult steelhead in the
tributary system an investiga
tion disclosed considerable ac
tivity on the gravel riffles
above the release site indica
ting that spawning of the ma-
t ire fish was taking place.
The yearling salmon and
steelhead will be checked close
ly by game commission biolo
gists for survival and growth
prior to their migration from
Triangle lake and on down the
Siuslaw to the sea.
Sandy Post
Steelhead, Silver Salmon Planted In Lake in Survival Experiment
The study is an outgrowth of
numerous requests from in
dividuals in the Triangle lake
area to chemically treat the
lake and provide a better fish
ery than what is now present.
Proposals have also been
made to ladder the falls below
the lake to allow migrating sal
mon and steelhead to utilize
the upriver spawning areas.
Some proponents would like to
see Triangle lake set aside
strictly as a nursery area for
the production of salmon and
steelhead.
Mixed Bag
At present the lake supports
a conglomeration of trout,
warm - water game fish and
rough fish Angling at best is
considered only fair. In the
past the commission has look
ed at Triangle lake, but to im
prove the fishery through chem
ical treatment was considered
too costly. The lake was stock
ed regularly with trout.
To chemically treat the lake
the water level would first
have to be lowered and all
water flow shut off to protect
the downstream fishery. This
woud entail expensive ditching
and permanent control gates.
The fils below Triangle lake
are not in the sense a vertical
barrier but rather a series of
steep cascades which block
salmon and steelhead migra-
tions into the lake The cas-
cades tumble for several hun
dred feet before leveling out.
Some salmon and steelhead
make it upstream to the bar
rier. Lower Lake creek is an
important spawning tributary
to the Siuslaw as well as pro
viding good angling up to the
upstream deadlines.
fishway was too expensive to
be justified for the existing fish
runs that might reach the pres
ent barrier. A "Steep - pass"
type fishway did show prom
ise. but it was felt that a de
sirable location must be found
to test such a facility prior to
installation.
The planting of adult steel
head was a result of this meet
ing as well as planting the
lake with young steelhead and
salmon. Biologists will now
conduct a sampling program in
the lake and its tributaries.
Scoop traps or other similar
apparatus will be used to trap
young steelhead and salmon at
the outlet. These and other
Problem Aired
Recently the technical staff
of the game commission met
to review all biological data
concerned with Triangle lake as
well as discuss the engineering
problems in laddering the diffi
cult falls.
It was concluded at this
meeting that a vertical baffle
