Carline and John Ryder
Pennsylvania Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
Merkle Laboratory
University Park, PA 16802
August 2000
(see continuation) (continuation)
Personnel from the Pennsylvania Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit completed a
mark-recapture estimate of wild trout on June 19 and 21, 2000 in a 427-m reach of Spring Creek
along property owned by Sutton Industries and Spring Township. On June 29, 2000 a 160-m
portion of this reach was sampled to provide an overview of fish species composition.
Methods
On June 19, a marking run was completed using a T&J electrofisher with an output of
250V Direct Current. All trout collected were placed in cages and then processed. Fish were
measured to the nearest millimeter, marked with caudal fin clips and a sub-sample was weighed
to the nearest gram. Fish were immediately returned to the stream. Two days later the stream
reach was electrofished again to determine the ratio of unmarked fish to fin-clipped fish.
To ascertain species composition, a 160- m portion of the reach was electrofished on
June 29 using a Coffelt Mark-10 Backpack electrofisher. Shallow water habitat and near shore
areas were sampled for 80 m along the left stream bank (looking upstream). Sampling continued
across the stream channel at a riffle and proceeded upstream 80 m along the right hand stream
bank.
(see continuation)
(continuation)
Results
A mark-recapture population estimate revealed the presence of a dense population of
wild brown trout (Salmo trutta). A surface area of 0.73 ha resulted in a biomass estimate of 257
kg/ha. Trout smaller than 149 mm were not included in the population estimate. These fish were
hatched this year. A subsample was measured to determine their length distribution.
Sampling for species composition yielded 25 white sucker (Catostomus commersoni),
four cutlips minnow (Exoglossum maxillingua), three longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae),
four tesselated darter (Etheostoma olmstedi), two fantail darter (Etheostoma flabellare), and one
slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus). Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and blacknose dace
(Rhinichthys atratulus) were not sampled during this particular effort but were observed during
the population estimate.
Discussion
This section of Spring Creek supports an exceptionally dense population of wild brown
trout, 257 kg/ha. In 1988, Unit personnel estimated trout densities in 12 reaches of Spring Creek
between Milesburg and Boalsburg. Trout biomass ranged from 42 to 245 kg/ha and averaged
145 kg/ha. Hence, this section supported a trout population substantially larger than that found
in 1988.
(see continuation)
(continuation)
In July 2000, personnel from our Unit and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
estimated trout densities in 11 sections of Spring Creek. Results from these surveys are not yet
available, though it is likely that they will be available in late fall 2000. At that time, we will be
able to compare the trout density in this section of the stream with the rest of Spring Creek.
The high density of trout in this section is probably due to the quality of the habitat and
the amount of spawning gravels from which juvenile trout are produced. The habitat consisted of
long pools with depths up to 1.5 m, generally stable banks, ample bank cover, and large riffles.
This quality and diversity of habitat is typical of excellent trout streams.
Unit personnel conducted a redd (trout spawning site) survey of Spring Creek from
Milesburg to Boalsburg in November 1999. For survey purposes, the stream was divided into 16
segments. This section lies within the segment bounded by the lamb Street Bridge and the
Highway 550 bridge. A total of 134 redds were counted in 1999 for a density of 57 redds/km,
the second highest density among the 16 stream segments. Previous studies in Spring Creek have
shown that densities of age-1 and older trout are well correlated with redd densities. Segments
that support few adult trout typically have few redds because the availability of good spawning
substrate is limited. Thus, low redd numbers results in low adult numbers, rather than vice versa.

RE: Request for Pre-Application Meeting
Spring Creek Watershed - Stream Restoration Permit
A pre-application meeting is being requested for stream restoration activities on Spring
Creek, Centre County. The purpose of the meeting is to present several stream restoration
projects within the Spring Creek Watershed. The stream restoration permit and one of the stream
restoration projects is being funded through a grant administered by PADEP.
The objectives of the meeting are:
(see continuation)
(continuation)
1.Identify proposed restoration project sites.
2.Establish an understanding between the review agency and the applicant of permit
documentation requirements.
3.Present background fluvial geomorphic watershed data including:
•Reference reach data (2 sites)
•USGS gauge datum (3 sites)
•Non-USGS gauge datum (4 sites)
•Regional Curve for bankfull discharge
1.Present conceptual restoration plans for Slaughterhouse Road project
2.Present Watershed Assessment data
3.Tour restoration sites
A tentative date between May 8-11 is being requested. I will follow up to confirm scheduling. I
can be reached at [email protected] or 717-627-4440.

RE: Spring Creek
Pre-application meeting
Thank you for participating at the May 11 pre-application meeting regarding stream
restoration projects on Spring Creek, Centre County.
The following is a summary of comments/concerns that were discussed, addressed, or
voiced at this meeting.
(see continuation)
(continuation)
•Minimization of sediment involved in the construction of the project.
•Being sure that Spring Township provides written authorization for the stream restoration
as it relates to flood flows.
•Sediment concerns associated with removal of the “dam” at the SMS property.
•Staging and access of equipment, machinery, and materials.
•Permit format to include one specific restoration site and 12 future stream restoration sites.
Initial submission to handle public notice requirements and required data addendums to
accompany subsequent restoration approvals. Documentation format to be similar to Lititz Run
Watershed permit approved by agencies.
•Use of sod matting for bank stabilization from adjacent wetland and non-wetland areas.
7. Biological (fish and macroinvertebrates) indicators to be monitored pre- and post
construction.
If there are any additional comments please forward them to my attention prior to June 15.
Thank you.
