Sheep Creek, a small T' order tributary to Sturgeon Creek, located in the Douglas Creek 

 watershed, flows ~4 miles exclusively through private ranch land. Sheep Creek ranks moderate 

 for total rank, due to low native species value, lack of a sport fishery value, high potential to 

 improve downstream water quality and a high social rank. No salmonid or other fish species 

 were detected in Sheep Creek. Riparian impairments include low instream flow due to an 

 aggraded channel and excessive livestock access to stream banks over most of the channel.

Shingle Mill Creek, a 1^ order tributary to upper Nevada Creek, originates on the western 

 slope of Nevada Mountain. Shingle Mill Creek flows -5.5 miles mostly through public (National 

 Forest) with private ranch land in lower reaches. Shingle Mill Creek ranks low for total rank due 

 to low native species value, low potential for improving water quality and lack of sport fishery 

 value to the Blackfoot River. Shingle Mill Creek supports resident WSCT, with population 

 densities that decrease in the downstream direction. Fisheries impairments in the lower reaches 

 include irrigation impacts (dewatering and passage) and livestock access to stream banks.
