Aeneas Creek:

Before & After
 
The possibility of a project on Aeneas Creek, which meets the Okanogan just south of Tonasket, first came to our attention when one of the landowners, Walt Jones called us. There was an unfinished fencing project and barriers to remove. The landowners were anxious to complete the project. After a site visit we decided to proceed with the project as outlined in the documents linked above.

Aeneas Creek is unique in several ways. Most importantly for fish, it is very cold - more than 20 degrees colder than the river during the hot months. The plume of cold water and the lower reaches of the stream provide a refuge for fish migrating up the Okanogan. All landowners are cooperative and the primary landowner is a family trust with an interest in restoration.
