Caption: The water temperature at Nine Mile Bridge on Hayfork Creek, below Hayfork Valley, reached stressful temperatures for salmonids early in June of 1996. By early July, conditions were acutely stressful with even the minimum water temperature above stressful. High water temperatures at Nine Mile Bridge may be in part exacerbated by water withdrawals and riparian conditions related to agricultural activities in Hayfork Valley upstream. Data collected by the Trinity County RCD and Weaverville office of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. See Picture for a map view of gauge location.
