Centerfire Creek is identified as a potential Apache trout recovery stream. Temperature and habitat quantity and quality issues are potential limiting factors for the Apache trout population at this location. If riparian vegetation and habitat improvements improve flow and temperature issues, it will be stocked as needed to establish a self-sustaining population of native Apache trout. The secondary management objective is to maintain self-sustaining populations of native speckled dace, desert sucker, and Sonora sucker where habitat is considered suitable. Critical habitat for New Mexico meadow jumping mouse also exists along Centerfire Creek and the riparian habitat will also be managed to support this species. Habitat improvements along Centerfire Creek may benefit both aquatic and terrestrial species.
