Rich also noted that Cascade Creek's steep gradient and low flow conditions were not suitable rearing habitat for juvenile trout, the latter typically spending a year in freshwater before outmigrating to San Francisco Bay. Rich documented several anecdotal records for the occurrence of Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in tributaries of Corte Madera Creek, including Cascade Creek.[2] According to Leidy, suitable habitat for coho salmon is present in Cascade Creek and most other Corte Madera Creek tributaries.[3] See also
