Interrogation Site Metadata

SIX - Sixmile Creek Seasonal IPTDS

Status:   Active - Operational
Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System  |  Organization: Nez Perce Tribe
General Operational Period: Seasonally
Start Date: 2/16/2023 12:00 AM

Sixmile Creek is a tributary of the lower Clearwater River, Idaho. The confluence of Sixmile Creek is on the west side of the Clearwater River at river kilometer 96. Sixmile Creek is about 8 miles long, draining 3,320 acres, and is considered an unknown spawning area for Snake River summer steelhead within the Lower Mainstem Clearwater steelhead population. The Sixmile Creek interrogation site was installed as a temporary and seasonal site at river kilometer 0.4 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.
