Snoqualmie River Basin

Volunteers surveyed Raging River and Tolt River in the Snoqualmie River Basin in 1999. Raging River was surveyed from November 18 until December 24 a total of five times by one volunteer. Tolt River was surveyed from October 14 through December 9 nine times by one volunteer (Table B1). Raw survey data for each stream are presented below in Tables B2 and B3.

Only unidentified salmonids were seen in the Raging River, and were observed the entire time period of the surveys. Chinook, coho, and chum were all observed in the Tolt River.

Uppermost Sightings

Only one site was monitored in each of the two streams. The unidentified fish in the Raging River were all seen at RM 12.6. The only site monitored in the Tolt River was at RM 0.6.

Timing of Salmon Runs

All chinook observed in the Tolt River were seen on the same day (October 14). Coho were seen from mid-November until early December. The first observations of chum were at the end of November and went until the final survey.
