The Suquamish Tribe is currently conducting its yearly survey to gather information on coho salmon traveling to Chico Creek, using a partnership with a private and virtually untouched forest preserve to help determine any issues that might be threatening population numbers. One of the most important pieces of the puzzle is habitat, said Jon Oleyar, Suquamish Fisheries biologist. This tributary is one of the best in the county, said Oleyar, but said early observations are showing a lower number of returning fish.
“If there’s no fish coming down here it’s pretty safe to say there’s no fish in the rest of the county,” he said, though adding that no two streams are exactly alike.
