On Friday, John Templeton sounded the alarm and took these photos along Trib 3A.

At the mouth of Stoney Creek where it enters the Brunette River, the silt was still heavy:

On Saturday, the creek was running clear at the North Road

But, on 3A, the silt was not as heavy as Friday, but still the visibility was too low to do a Spawner Count on Sunday.

Mike Van Looy took these photos along the stream from Ashgrove to Gaglardi to show the amount of new sediment covering the spawning beds:
