The 2005-2006 Adult Coho Spawning Ground Surveys began in the Scott River and tributaries on November 11th, 2005. Surveys were formally initiated at this time because adult Chinook were observed spawning in Shackleford Creek on November 9th, 2005. Coho surveys were started in an effort to positively identify Chinook redds versus coho redds in areas where the two species were using the same spawning grounds. Adult coho spawning ground surveys were completed in a total of 34.10.85 miles; 4.75 miles of mainstem, and 29.35 miles of tributary.
