Abstract/Description or Keywords Estimates of minimum flow requirements for Okanagan tributary streams for the propagation of salmonid fish species endemic to the mainstem lakes. These estimates are confined to those tributaries which appear to have sufficient water-yield potential to consistently meet fishery requirements if so directed. A general characterization of these tributaries along with a summary of prescribed minimum flows is given in Tables l and 2. Flow requirements are outlined in more detail in Table 3. These estimates were made, in consultation with BC Fish and Wildlife personnel, on the basis of stream channel and substrate characteristics, along with the observed impact of measured flows on Kokanee spawning migrations in 1971. environmental flow needs.
