	Battle of Fish Creek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contemporary lithograph of the Battle of Fish Creek.
		The Battle of Fish Creek, fought April 24, 1885 at Fish Creek, Saskatchewan, was a major Métis victory over the Dominion forces attempting to quell Louis Riel's North-West Rebellion.
		Despite the heavy casualties inflicted upon the enemy, Métis morale deteriorated as the battle wore on.

	Fish Creek, Saskatchewan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is most famous as the site of the Battle of Fish Creek during the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 between General Frederick Middleton of the Canadian Militia and Gabriel Dumont, adjutant general of the Metis provisional government of Saskatchewan.
		Fish Creek was the southern border of the Southbranch Settlement of French Metis who settled in the Saskatchewan Valley region in the mid to late 19th Century.
		The battle proved to be a success for the Metis forces in that bloodied Middelton's nose and stalled the Canadian advance on Batoche, Saskatchewan; capital of Louis Riel's provisional government, for another two weeks.

	PCFFA Battle Creek Restortion Project Comments
		Given the hatchery's significant impacts on Battle Creek and its fish life, responsibility for a timely, objective evaluation of the alternative measures identified in the Working Group's April, 1999 report should now be passed to those directly responsible for the Restoration Project.
		The MOU provision for installing a "fail-safe" fish screen and ladder at Eagle Canyon, i.e, instead of removing the dam, is nearly comical when you contemplate boulders the size the Volkswagens sloughing into that box canyon and bouncing along on the floods.
		Battle Creek watershed youngsters will develop into either hands-on stewards of the most exciting stream restoration project in the state or poachers of the most expensive salmon in the state.

	Battle Creek Fish - Introduction
		Battle Creek has been regarded as a uniquely important salmon-producing watershed because of the large numbers of chinook salmon that used to be produced there and because of the diversity of the four races of chinook that inhabit Battle Creek.
		Early fisheries investigators claimed that Battle Creek was the most important salmon-producing tributary to the Sacramento River when its ecosystem had its original forma and function (Rutter 1904; CDFG 1993c).
		CDFG (1993c) suggested that restoration of Battle Creek would provide a unique opportunity to restore a drought-resistant population of winter-run chinook salmon as a safe-guard against possible extinction of the primary population of this race located in the upper Sacramento River.

		The cold, plentiful, and year-round stream flows in Battle Creek represent the historic stream habitat that was available to salmon and steelhead prior to the construction of Shasta Dam.
		Coleman National Fish Hatchery was constructed on Battle Creek (a tributary of the Sacramento River) to partially mitigate for this habitat loss.
		A: Eight months of the year, fish are blocked at the barrier weir in Battle Creek to congregate them for broodstock collection, to reduce the disease risk to juvenile fish at the hatchery, and to avoid large numbers of fall chinook salmon accessing areas where natural spring chinook salmon may spawn.

		Given the small size of the remaining runs of wild fish, the take of even a few wild fish may have a significant effect on their populations.
		The removal of older fish also eliminates much of the natural "cushion" the populations have against natural disasters such as severe drought, which may wipe out a run in one year.
		Interbreeding of hatchery fish with wild fish has the potential to dilute and eventually eliminate the genetic distinctiveness of the remaining naturally reproducing stock.

		Battle Creek comprises two main branches, North Fork Battle Creek (approximately 29.5 miles from the headwaters to the confluence) and South Fork Battle Creek (approximately 28 miles from the headwaters to the confluence), and the Mainstem reach (approximately 15.2 miles from confluence of the north and south forks to the Sacramento River).
		The creek and its tributaries drain the volcanic slopes of Mount Lassen at the upper center of the watershed.
		Because the main objective of the present project is to predict temperature characteristics for upper Battle Creek in the North Fork and the South Fork river channels, the larger discrepancy predicted in the Mainstem is not a major concern.

		Though some group members later expressed concern about Battle Creek's ability to finance and institute the POP concept here, residents and officials were enthused by the approach they saw in other communities.
		Battle Creek officials said they began talking about the POP approach about 12 months ago and that it is not a reaction to the gun violence from last year.
		Another possible change in Battle Creek would be the reassignment or hiring of new staff to create floating officers, or individuals who would be stationed in troubled neighborhoods for a period of time.

		With clear water and high skies, three days fishing Battle Creek at the Oasis Spring Lodge was close to perfection: the fish were large and plentiful, and the fishing was challenging.
		The fish were plentiful, putting up a hardy fight requiring the maximum use of our skills to battle the fish in the fast water.
		The fish varied in size, with the smaller fish in the 8-10 inch range, while the larger fish were from 18-24 inches.

		Of the ten "resident" fish, six are native to the Sacramento Basin including: rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Sacramento squawfish (Ptychocheilus grandis), Sacramento sucker (Catostomus occidentalis), California roach (Hesperoleucus symmetricus), riffle sculpin (Cottus gulosus), speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus), and tule perch (Hysterocarpus traski).
		Rainbow trout, brown trout, and riffle sculpin were the only fish species found within the uppermost reaches of both forks of Battle Creek in a 1989 study of fish distribution within the portions of the watershed accessible to anadromous fish.

		In the ensuing Battle of Duck Lake, the police were routed, and the Indians also rose up once the news became known.
		The outcome of the ensuing Battle of Batoche which took place from May 9 – May 12 was never in doubt, and on May 15 a disheveled Riel surrendered to Canadian forces.
		Although Big Bear's forces managed to hold out until the Battle of Loon Lake on June 3, the rebellion was a dismal failure for Métis and Indian alike, with most surrendering or fleeing.

		Five small dams in California will be decommissioned, flows will be increased, fish ladders will be enlarged, and screens will be placed on turbines to help runs of winter, spring, fall, and late-fall chinook and steelhead on Battle Creek.
		The fish are disoriented when they emerge and cannot continue on their journey.
		The fish have two choices: the west lift, from which they will be shipped upriver by truck and returned to the river near Harrisburg, Pa; or the east lift, from which they will be released into a manmade flume to swim upriver themselves.

	Battle of Battle Creek: Which way to save salmon? / Environmentalists are split over plan that would remove 5 of 8 ...
		In the late 1990s, the idea of restoring the creek's fisheries by removing some or all of the dams caught the fancy of Cal-Fed, the joint state and federal agency convened in 1994 to find consensus solutions to California's water wars.
		Landowners on the creek's watershed -- mostly cattle ranchers -- remain skeptical of the project, while simultaneously hoping it proves of genuine benefit to the fish.
		Larry Lucas, secretary of the board of directors for the Battle Creek Watershed Conservancy, a landowners group, said the group's biggest concern with the project is that government agencies can't necessarily be trusted to do the right thing at a reasonable price.
