Snorkeling and established stream habitat assessment methods were used to determine basinwide summer habitat use by juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and juvenile steelhead O. mykiss ...in 1989 in eight reaches along 39 km of Jackson Creek, a fifth‐order tributary to the South Umpqua River, Oregon. Juvenile steelhead (ages 0–3) were widely distributed throughout the entire stream but age‐1 and older fish were found in higher densities in the middle reaches whereas age‐0 fish were found in higher densities in the upper reaches. Juvenile Chinook salmon were found in the highest densities in the middle reaches. Juvenile steelhead used mostly riffles in the downstream reaches but mostly pools in the upstream reaches. Age‐0 Chinook salmon were strongly associated with pools in all reaches. Several factors are suggested that may have influenced distribution and abundance of both species; these include high stream temperatures in the lower reaches, habitat preferences of each species, and the interaction and resultant habitat segregation between the two species. Densities of steelhead varied by nearly 5‐fold over the reaches studied and densities of Chinook salmon varied by more than 10‐fold. Thus, habitat studies on streams with variable habitat and patchy fish distributions should be conducted over a larger area of the basin than has typically been the case in previous studies.
