Fishing Auke Creek

Auke Creek experiences various fish migrations throughout the year. Pink salmon exhibit both even- and odd-year cycles and spawn primarily in the lower reaches of Auke Creek and its intertidal flats. Coho and chum salmon also ascend the outlet for spawning. Steelhead trout make annual returns to Auke Creek where they are counted and PIT-tagged for movement studies. Fry migrate downstream from May through June, and adult salmonids ascend from July into October. A permanent weir installed about 400 meters downstream of the lake monitors the timing and magnitude of fish migrations.
