Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates above average habitat quality.  Stream where assessed cuts through bedrock which results in good pool/riffle formation.   Very diverse substrate and several pool/ riffle sequences observed.   Good diversity of fish observed, including game fish species.   Stream was viewed at a downstream location closer to the mouth.   Generally poor habitat conditions were observed there, probably a result of extensive channelization.
