Comments: Chickaloon Village Traditional Council Environmental Stewardship staff Benjamin Americus and Cody Henrikson accessed this stream by wading Moose Creek from Buffalo Mine Road. From the mouth of Buffalo Creek, we walked upstream, counting six live adult coho salmon between the mouth and a steep cascade at 61.715428, -149.070511. The most upstream fish was observed at the base of the cascade.
