LAW - Lawyer Creek Seasonal IPTDS

Status:   Decommissioned
Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System  |  Organization: Nez Perce Tribe
General Operational Period: Seasonally

Lawyer Creek is a tributary of the lower Clearwater River, Idaho. The confluence of Lawyer Creek is on the west side of the Clearwater River at river kilometer 109. Lawyers Creek is about 41 miles long, draining 137,360 acres, and is considered a major spawning area for Snake River summer steelhead within the Lower Mainstem Clearwater steelhead population. The Lawyer Creek interrogation site was installed as a temporary and seasonal site at river kilometer 1.5 to estimate steelhead abundance within the Lawyer Creek spawning aggregate because an interrogation site downstream of the Lower Mainstem Clearwater capable of providing a population estimate for the population does not exist. Site was removed June 2024, and no further data collection is planned for this location.
