During the 2023-2024 coho salmon spawning season, staff from the Quartz Valley Indian Reservation (QVIR), Scott River Watershed Council (SRWC) and Siskiyou Resource Conservation District (SRCD) conducted spawning ground surveys on 38.3 miles of 17 streams in the Scott River watershed. Between November 2, 2023 and January 16, 2024, a total of 251 coho salmon redds and 168 carcasses were
documented in the cooperative survey effort. The highest concentration of redds per survey mile were found at the Scott River at Sugar Creek Confluence, the Middle French Creek, the Lower and Middle Sugar Creek and the East Fork Scott River at Kangaroo Creek reaches.
