The Brownlee Dam to Oxbow Dam reach is a short river segment with suitable white
sturgeon spawning habitat limited to the area below Brownlee Dam. The potential
for natural recruitment in this reach is low due to lack of spawning habitat, water
quality issues, and egg/larval transport out of the system. Managers have indicated
that a self-sustaining population is not viable due to the current conditions.
