Water Quality in the Toboggan Creek Watershed 1996-1998: Are Land Use Activities Affecting Water Quality and Salmonid Health?

FO Habitat and Enhancement Branch initiated water quality monitoring in Toboggan Creek watershed in early 1996. Toboggan Creek is an important nursery stream for both wild and hatchery fish, primarily coho, pink, steelhead and Dolly Varden, with smaller populations of cutthroat trout and mountain whitefish. Toboggan Creek is also the main water source for the Toboggan Creek Hatchery, a DFO Salmonid Enhancement Program facility.
