| A | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Monitor Trends in Relative Abundance of Juvenile Bull Trout in Warm Springs River | The utility of using "index" reaches for monitoring trends in juvenile bull trout relative abundance will be assessed in the Warm Springs River (Rkm 56.9 - 59.3). The 2.4 km reach, which contains approximately 60% of the summer time juvenile rearing area, will be surveyed. Within the reach, 4 - 100m long "index" reaches were established in 1999. Bull trout will be enumerated by night snorkeling using methods described by Thurow (1996). | Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened) | Trout, Brook (Salvelinus fontinalis) |

| C | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Monitor Trends in Adult Bull Trout Spawning Abundance in Warm Springs River & Shitike Creek | The total number of redds in each stream will be determined. Annual redd counts within index reaches are widely used to monitor trends in bull trout abundance throughout their range (Sanborn et al. 1998). Prior to establishing index reaches basin-wide surveys are needed to identify spawning habitat. The surveys, repeated throughout the spawning period, are necessary to determine the specific locations, timing and duration of spawning. Information obtained from basin-wide surveys may be used to determine if a sub-sample of the known habitat, i.e. index reaches, may be used to reliably monitor spawning abundance within a particular stream. | Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened) | |

| G | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Analyze/Interpret Data For Juvenile and Adult Bull Trout Surveys and Water Quality Surveys | Compare relative juvenile and adult bull trout abundance data from 1998 - 2005 in Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek and assess utility of index reach monitoring. Assess numbers/trends of adult fluvial bull trout escapement into Warm Springs River and Shitike River. Assess water temperature data to obtain a single daily maximum and 7-day average temperature (*C) for each migrational stage. | Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened) | Trout, Brook (Salvelinus fontinalis) |
