Sauerkraut Creek: 120(31/83) 



Sauerkraut Creek, a V order tributary to the upper Blackfoot River, flows ~7 miles 

 through public (National Forest) land in the headwaters and private land downstream of mile ~3. 

 Sauerkraut Creek received a high total rank for non-project streams. This rank is due high native 

 species value, high (multi-species) sport fishery value to the Blackfoot River, and moderate 

 potential to improve water quality in the Blackfoot River. Sauerkraut Creek received a low rank 

 for social and financial considerations. Sauerkraut Creek supports limited bull trout rearing, 

 fluvial genetically pure WSCT, brown trout and brook trout. We found bull trout and brown trout 

 in lower Sauerkraut Creek, whereas WSCT and brook trout are found throughout the drainage. 

 Brook trout densities decrease in the upstream direction. Fisheries impairments, located in the 

 middle reaches, include 1) poor road crossings (undersized culvert), 2) channelization, 3) lack of 

 instream complexity, 4) stream bank damage in localized area excessive livestock access to 

 riparian areas, and 5) mining disturbances.

Seven Up Pete Creek, a 1 order tributary to the upper Blackfoot River drains the slopes of 

 Crater Mountain and flows ~5 miles through both National Forest and private land. Private land 

 is located only between mile 3 and 4. Seven Up Pete Creek ranks high for non-project streams in 

 total rank. This high rank is due to high native species value and single species sport fishery 

 value to the Blackfoot River. Seven Up Pete Creek ranks low for potential to improve water 

 quality in the Blackfoot River. Seven Up Pete Creek supports low densities of genetically pure 

 fluvial WSCT and brook trout. Fisheries impairments include mining practices in headwater 

 areas and instream road crossings in the lower reaches.
