Title:
H: 157 - Monitor Juvenile Bull Trout Abundance In Shitike Creek Through Night Snorkeling
Description:
Bull trout require complex stream habitat and cold water temperatures (<15° C) during the juvenile rearing life stages (Dambacher and Jones 1997; Fraley and Shepard 1998; Ratliff 1992; Reiman and McIntyre 1993). Juveniles rear in streams three or more years (Ratliff et al. 1996, Pratt 1992). They are dependent on high quality stream habitat. During the juvenile stage, bull trout are considered benthic to take advantage of the substrate interstices for cover, food and protection (Buchanan et al.1997). Availability of juvenile rearing habitat may limit bull trout distribution.
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Deliverable Specification:
Enumerate fish
Bull trout will be enumerated by night snorkeling using methods described by Thurow (1994).

Nine 100 m index reaches will be surveyed during late-June through July 2011. Surveys will be conducted from 22:00–03:00. Two or three divers will survey from the downstream end each reach proceeding upstream. Each diver will be responsible for covering a portion of the stream to prevent duplication in counts. The estimated total length of each bull trout and brook trout encountered will be recorded. Bull trout will be tallied into one of three total length categories (50-200, 200-300 and >300mm) corresponding to juvenile, sub-adult and adult life stages as determined by scale analysis conducted in the Deschutes R. subbasin during 1996-2000 (Brun and Dodson 2001). All brook trout will be enumerated within each habitat unit and index reach. At the end of each habitat unit and index reach fish counts from each diver will be consolidated and recorded.

Habitat Data Collection
The upper and lower bounds of each habitat unit were sequentially numbered with flagging. Habitat measurements and characteristics to be collected are:
Habitat type (pools, glides, riffles and rapids)
Unit length
Average bankful width
