ON A SUNNY DECEMBER
DAY
The river came up finally,
and the steelhead drifters had
their show for four days. But
the fish didn’t come up in any
appreciable numbers, so for
most it was a period of an
ticipation and hope, finally
followed by a patient, “Guess
we’ll have to wait for another
rain!” Now the rain has come
again but in between, the
December sun in a bright blue
sky lit up the falling water
level.
The earlier short rains had at
least cleared out all the sum
mer dust, dirt and debris. The
water is tinged slightly with silt
and a little greenish from some
snow melt. The white horses
foamed in the rapids and chutes
and sent long tongues of crested
waves into the quieter stret-
showed up, the late running
Silvers that had been held up
downstream by a month of
extremely low water came
booming up. Bacon Creek has a
good spawning population in its
lower reaches all of a sudden.
Quite a few were seen jumping
at the Gravel pit hole and at the
Veretti hole. They show the
effects of their delay in the
lower river. All are black or
nearly so. A great percentage
carry patches of white fungus
and disintegrating fins.
This last sunny Monday saw
the waters clear enough for the
wintering Kingfishers to search
the water. A pair of hen
Mergansers with rusty red
heads, traded back and forth
below the bridge, stopping to
dive and fish in the calmer
pools. Always wary, they had to
leave by late morning as an

increasing number of anglers
usurped their solitude and
frightened them away. A
handclap sent a perching
Kingfisher away in terror from
his high lookout over the river,
but bothered not at all a tiny
wren searching out spiders and
their eggs under the cut banks
and root tangles of the steep
flood eroded banks.
Where the white water spills
over the rocks of the long bar
above the Island hole, two
water Ouzels wade and un
concernedly walk underwater
searching out nymphs. They
pause from time to time to
teeter on a rock or to sing their
melodious high pitched song
against the deeper tones of the
rapids
Two crows argue rather
raucously on the ridge to the
North while several gulls mew
softly as they wheel overhead
looking for spawned out
Salmon. A Blue Heron stalks
unsuccessfully at the mouth of
the creek for an unwary
Salmon, but the water is too
deep and the current too great.
He too, like me, has to give up
the search for fish. I have been
intent on Steelhead but none
has come my way. Brother
Heron will accept anything
with fins, but today he fares no
better than I.
Some Chipmunks still scurry
about, but the Pine Squirrels
have been missing for a couple
of weeks now. Evidently they
have already retreated to their
dens for the winter. Along the
creek bottom, a grouse flushes!
A pair of Mallards bounce up
from behind a Beaver dam! A
curious Muskrat emerges from
under a half-submerged log,
looking. for the cause of the
commotion When the Beavers
dam up a pond, the Muskrats
are not far behind in making
use of the Beaver’s handiwork.
Last Friday, there was a
break in the dam where
Thursday night’s rain swollen
creek had carried a portion of it
away. Today, the dam is as
complete as ever and the pond
brim full again.
Just eight years ago, a
misguided landowner tore out
all the Beaver dams and
straightened out the creek until
it was just a ditch where it
crossed a few hundred yards of
his property. This did not daunt
the Beavers. Now, the dams
are higher, stronger and the
pools much larger. He has
twice as much flooded land as
before His Beavers are helping
me to get rid of many unwanted
cottonwood saplings. Until all
the cottonwoods are consumed,
the Beavers bother little else
except an occasional Alder.
They never bother the Oregon
Ash or Cascara which also
abounds along the creek Yes,
my neighbor found out that it
takes a lot to discourage a
Beaver. These Bacon Creek
Beavers are practically in our
back yards, but they tolerate
Now, the barometer is falling
fast, although there is not a
cloud in the sky. The Beavers
are ready for the next freshet to
roll down the creek, and I am
ready for the river to rise
again. Surely this next rise will
bring some Steelhead into this
upper river!
