This study focuses on understanding the temporal variability in hydrological and thermal conditions in a small mountain stream and its potential implication for two life stages of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) - stream resident ju- veniles and returning adult spawners. Stream discharge and temperature in the Girnock Burn, NE Scotland, were charac- terised over ten hydrological years (1994/1995-2003/2004). Attention was focussed on assessing variations during par- ticular ecologically "sensitive" time periods when selected life-stages of salmon behaviour may be especially influenced by hydrological and thermal conditions. Empirical discharge data were used to derive hydraulic pa- rameters to predict the Critical Displacement Velocity (CDV) of juvenile salmon. This is the velocity above which fish may no longer be able to hold station in the water column and thus can be used as an index of time periods where feeding behaviour might be constrained. In the Girnock Burn, strong inter- and intra-annual variability in hydrological and ther- mal conditions may have important implications for feeding opportunities for juvenile fish; both during important growth periods in late winter and early spring, and the emergence of fry in the late spring. Time periods when foraging behaviour of juvenile salmon may be constrained by hydraulic condi- tions were assessed as the percentage time when CDV for 0+ and 1+ fish were exceeded by mean daily stream veloc- ities. Clear seasonal patterns of CDV were apparent, with higher summer values driven by higher stream temperatures and fish length. Inter-annual variability in the time when mean stream velocity exceeded CDV for 0+ fish ranged be- tween 29.3% (1997/1998) and 44.7% (2000/2001). For 1+
