Bonnel Cr. Debris Jam

  

Bonnel Creek



Large debris jam on Bonnel Creek. This jam is above the power line crossing and though quite large it presents no barrier to Wild Salmon migration. Wild Coho are observed every year in the pools above and have spawning habitat all the way upstream to the barrier falls within Bonnel Cr. canyon. Wild Chum occasionally are seen above the jam and are seen every year milling around the base spawning and attempting to find a way through. The jam is also serving the purpose of retaining water for longer periods upstream as levels go subsurface in the reaches below.
