The following is a sequential description of a spawning survey of Redwood Creek performed on 12/29/98 by Joshua Seney. The section surveyed was the main stem between Minor and Beaver creeks; it is a low gradient reach historically favored by spawning salmon. Survey conditions were ideal; the creek was low and clear following strong early flows.

*Two large redds below the county bridge. *Two unknown redds 100 yards downstream. *Large female king on redd in a braid 75 yards above Moon creek. *Three female kings and one male king on three huge redds in braid below moon creek and above the Wade's house. Note: The salmon were particularly using braids in the creek for spawning. The next nine entries are from this same braided 114-mile reach. *Mating pair of kings on redd. *Female king on a redd in deep brushy cover. *Three unknown salmon. *Small unknown redd. *Large dead male king in hole. *Large unknown redd. * 11 I1 11
