Trout Creek was once a major spawning and rearing tributary for Okanagan Lake rainbow trout and kokanee. Historically kokanee spawned in smaller gravels in the lower reaches of the stream or in several of the now defunct side channels. It is believed that rainbow trout at one time spawned in the lower-to-mid reach areas.

A good summary of the history of development in the Trout Creek watershed is provided by J. den Dulk (in Ashley et al. 1998). In short, the watershed hydrology has been severely altered due to forest harvesting and domestic water storage while the lower reaches have been radically altered due to channelization. One of the objectives of the OLAP is to investigate restoration opportunities within the Trout Creek watershed. 1. den Dulk (in Ashley et al. 1998) provided an overview of some restoration options while Zimmerman and Epp (in Ashley et al. 1999) described some initial stream bank stabilization work. Both studies emphasized the need to recover water if fish are to once again utilize Trout Creek for spawning and rearing.
