zoo works well with daily data. For example, if you had a daily series of streamflows in a vector Q and with corresponding date stamps D (created using as.Date(), for example).

Q.z <- zoo(Q, order.by=D) 

will create an object that will plot nicely and you can use functions such as window() to extract single years e.g.

window(Q.z, start = as.Date('2000-01-01'), end=as.Date('2000-31-12')

Check the zoo package for more information.
