Comments: This information was gathered as part of the joint reconnaissance level project between the ADF&G Habitat Division and the Fish Passage Assessment Project on Adak Island. Due to time constraints full site assessments were not conducted, but base line information was collected. No culvert at location, low water crossing/ford. There might have been a culvert here at one time. Adult pink salmon observed upstream of crossing, juvenile coho salmon and Dolly Varden Char trapped upstream. Upstream barrier was located with adult pinks below barrier and stream has been nominated to AWC.
