	Rattlesnake Creek is a high gradient stream with elevations ranging from 1,960 feet at its mouth to over 3,500 feet at the upstream extent of the spawning area. Approximately 56% of the watershed, including the entire portion where bull trout spawn, is within the William O. Douglas Wilderness. Habitat conditions in the spawning area ''were excellent prior to the 2021 Schneider Springs wildfire''. ''A Yakima River water resources inventory looking at limiting factors in the Yakima River Watershed considered all rating parameters''—channel condition (pool frequency and depth, LWD presence); substrate condition (suitable spawning gravels, sedimentation); riparian condition; water quality (temperature, chemicals/minerals); and water quantity ''to be suitable'' (Haring 2001<ref name=":4">Haring, Don. ''Habitat Limiting Factors Yakima River Watershed, Water Resource Inventory Areas 37-39 : Final Report''. Washington State Conservation Commission, Dec. 2001, p. 364, <nowiki>https://ybfwrb.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Haring-2001.pdf</nowiki>.</ref>). ''However, in 2021 a lightning-induced wildfire burned over 100,000 acres in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and the headwaters of Rattlesnake Creek within the William O. Douglas Wilderness area. The burn was high severity in this area and burned to the crown, killing much of the coniferous forest. In the years following the fire, redd surveyors have noted substantial increase in fine sediments, primarily in the mainstem of Rattlesnake creek downstream of McNeil Creek (WDFW Redd Survey Database observations). ~~<u>CAN ANYONE COMMENT ON CONDITIONS DOWNSTREAM OF THE WILDERNESS BOUNDARY?</u>~~''		Rattlesnake Creek is a high gradient stream with elevations ranging from 1,960 feet at its mouth to over 3,500 feet at the upstream extent of the spawning area.

	Bull trout juveniles rear above and below the wilderness boundary. Below the boundary the creek flows primarily through National Forest land and WA State DNR land with the exception of some private holdings in the lower mile of the stream corridor. There are a small number of private residences (less than 10) 5-6 miles upstream of the mouth and several on the private land near the mouth. The upstream residences are not believed to be significantly affecting habitat quality in the creek. Haring (2001<ref name=":4" />) described habitat conditions in the non-wilderness section of Rattlesnake Creek as good above the Little Rattlesnake Creek confluence (RM 1.0). Below this point, the channel has been constrained by a bridge and by diversion structures, limiting the area available for sediment deposition in the floodplain and resulting in chronic aggradation at the confluence with the Naches River. There have been concerns in the past that in dry years adult bull trout migration into the creek may be impeded. The span of the bridge was lengthened in 2008, which should, over time, reduce aggradation; the most significant diversion was removed in 2009.

On the mainstem Rattlesnake Creek, 7.2 miles were surveyed in 1996, Little Rattlesnake Creek survey was completed in 2002, and most tributaries were surveyed in 1992 and 1994, including North Fork Little Rattlesnake, Three Creeks, Dog Creek, Lookout Creek, Little Hindoo Creek, Elkhorn Creek, Nelson Creek, Little Wildcat Creek, McNeil Creek, and Shell Creek ~~'''~~(USFS ~~2003c <--- ANYONE HAVE THIS REFERENCE?

''Water diversions from Rattlesnake Creek can also cause low flows in the mainstem and impacts to migrating or rearing juvenile bull trout''. Dewatering, invasive species (brook trout), altered flows, development, angling, forest management issues, roads, passage barriers (potential), ''fine sediment due to wildfires'', and recreational impacts are all present in the FMO habitat and lower rearing reaches of Rattlesnake Creek. ''Each of these impacts are not believed to impact the population individually, but the combination of all of these factors may be substantial.'' There is a sheep grazing allotment in the Rattlesnake drainage but this has never been documented to damage riparian areas. ''This may change as the allotment transitions to support cattle grazing.'' Threats that are not present for this population include: agriculture, limited extent of habitat, and mining.
