Abstract/Description or Keywords Fish habitat surveys were completed by BCCF, LGL Limited, and HFN fisheries staff in the Ash
River watershed downstream of Elsie Dam in the summer of 2006. The objectives of this project
were to implement a salmon habitat assessment and to identify and develop high priority and
cost-effective restoration treatments and designs for Ash River and Wolf and Lanterman creeks.
Detailed fish habitat assessments were completed on 12 high priority reaches downstream of
Elsie Dam to assist in the identification of fish habitat impacts. Surveys to develop restoration or
enhancement designs where habitat impacts or limiting factors were identified in the detailed
habitat assessments were then conducted in three reaches between Dickson Lake and Elsie Lake.
