Notes

• https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/species/oncorhynchus-clarkii
• Losee et al 2017 study migration patterns in South Puget Sound
  • Complex migration patterns make protection of individual stocks during sea-run phase difficult.
  • The Little Skookum Creek population was broadly distributed, while the McLane Creek and Kennedy Creek populations were predominantly found within their natal inlets.
