The California Department of Fish and Wildlife annually operates adult fish counting facilities on the Shasta River, Scott River, Bogus Creek, Jenny Creek and Shovel Creek. This in-season update provides preliminary 2024 returns of Fall-run Chinook Salmon and Coho Salmon to each counting facility. Preliminary in-season updates will be provided as data becomes available throughout the season.

The Shasta River station was operational on August 29, 2024 and 44 adult Chinook Salmon and 0 adult Coho Salmon have been observed through September 26, 2024.

The Bogus Creek station was operational on September 5, 2024 and 1 adult Chinook Salmon and 0 adult Coho Salmon have been observed through September 25, 2024.

The Scott River station was operational on September 13, 2024 and 2 adult Chinook Salmon and 0 adult Coho Salmon have been observed through September 26, 2024.

*The Shasta River station is located roughly 600 feet from the confluence with the Klamath River and serves as a census for the entire Shasta River.

*The Scott River station is 18 miles upstream of the confluence with the Klamath River and the Bogus Creek station is 0.25 miles upstream of the confluence with the Klamath River.

Depending on the year significant fractions of the adult salmonid populations in the Scott River and Bogus Creek spawn downstream of the counting stations. This in-season update doesn’t report the spawning escapement that is observed downstream of these stations.
