Thirtymile Creek, a tributary of the Lower Mainstem John Day River and primarily located in Gilliam County near Condon is a major steelhead spawning area. Thirtymile Creek is a high priority summer steelhead recovery, protection and/or restoration benefit area in the Lower Mainstem John Day population. Steelhead life cycle monitoring in Thirtymile Creek, initiated in 2017, provides a basis to evaluate and inform both past and upcoming restoration projects designed to improve steelhead freshwater productivity. This FIP funding request will extend our analytical capacity through 2026 and data collection capacity through 2027 to ensure we maximize return on the monitoring and restoration.
