The party based at Telegraph Crezk “Almost all the Stikine tributar- jes have become impassable,” he sald, “by waterfalls, log jams on falls, rapids or beaver dams. Most of the spawning areas are in two main tributaries in the vicinity of Telegraph Creek—the Clearwater. which joins the Stikine below Tele- graph, and the Tahltan River. “Preliminary investigation would indicate that fish cannot get to the lake at the head of the Tahl- tan. This might account for the diminishing run of sockeye—this year had the poorest sockeye run ever, at the mouth of the Stikine.” The experts landed in Tahltan Lake and traced out brances at the lake of 15 tributaries.
