   Caption:  The above chart plots floating weekly average temperature at Blue Waterhole Creek sites for the year 2001.  Based on a review of steelhead growth studies, Sullivan et al. (2000) found that compared to optimum temperatures, an MWAT of 17.0°c reduced steelhead growth by 10%, and an MWAT of 19.0°c reduced growth by 20%. The stream is warm coming off grasslands at Site #1 and is cooled by forested tributaries at Site #2. This trend is not continued downstream, however, and Sites #3-#4 are progressively warmer.
