The Trout Creek Stream Summary provides estimates of the naturalized streamflows and suggests instream flows for sustaining fish and fish habitat -notably rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. This stream summary reviews existing streamflow gauging records for Trout Creek and other Okanagan tributaries, and historical water use and water storage records to estimate naturalized annual and monthly stream flows.

Audience:  Government and Public

The process of determining instream flows included the review of historical flow information, current flow standards applied in BC, and physical information -including photo records of stream sections at various flows. Streamflow and fish habitat information was assessed and instream flows suggested to protect the life history requirements and aquatic habitat for rainbow trout and kokanee salmon in Trout Creek. These instream flows are based on available information and provide estimates for dry, normal and wet annual runoff conditions. Importantly, the stream summary for Trout Creek also provides a summary of recommended actions based on gaps in data and information discovered in this review.
