Abstract: Weighted usable area and stream capacity for kokanee spawning and juvenile rainbow trout rearing was estimated at 4 discharge levels in Mission Creek. The study was done to determine potential levels of fish production relative to current populations and options for enhancement. Hydraulic conditions were simulated using the HEC-2 model at discharges covering a geometric series from 6 to 44% mean annual discharge (MAD). Results indicate the maximum capacity for kokanee spawning occurred at 1.42 m3/s (22% MAD), and was approximately 330,000 fish. Current kokanee escapements were below capacity at all flows simulated. Maximum capacity for juvenile trout was expressed at 0.42 m3/s (6% MAD) for fry and 1.42 m3/s (22% MAD) for parr. Application of theoretical survival biostandards to capacity estimates implied that potential trout migrant production to Okanagan Lake was limited by the amount and quality of parr habitat. Recommendations include a target summer/fall minimum flow of 1.42 m3/s, spawning gravel improvem
