This chart shows maximum daily water temperatures in Methodist Creek during the summers of 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Note that temperatures remained below the stressful level all four years, with the exception of a brief period in August 1997. Data were collected from automated temperature sensors called Hobotemps, which anchored in moving water in the shade. Hobotemps were monitored by students at the three river schools, community volunteers, and paid staff of the Salmon River Restoration Council.
