Stream use assessment.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates above average habitat quality.   Very diverse substrate and numerous pool/riffle sequences observed.   Some channelization noted.   Abundant rocky substrates as a result of stream downcutting through bedrock.  Fair number of fish species found, but low numbers per species.  Seining was hindered by abundance of boulders.   Stream was viewed at two other locations in B(LR) segment; both sites had above average habitat.   No channel alterations noted.
