This chart shows maximum daily water temperatures during the summer of 1997 of the SF Salmon River above, below and in Indian Creek. Notice that Indian Creek was noticeably cooler than the SF Salmon but that it did not appear to have a significant cooling influence on the SF Salmon. This may suggest that Indian Creek was not of sufficient size to significantly impact the temperature of the SF. The mouth of Indian Creek did provide a cold water refugia for Salmonids during the summer temperature peak. This chart was derived from Chart Table InMax97.dbf, which was derived from Source Table sain97.dbf. That table contains water temperature data collected by automated temperature sensors called Hobotemps, which were anchored in flowing water in the shade, recording temperatures between June 5 and September 30, 1997. Hobotemps were monitored by community volunteers and paid staff of the Salmon River Restoration Council.
