Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates fair habitat quality. Wide and shallow flow over sand and gravel substrate most prevalent type of habitat. Some boulders and cobbles of glacial origin and woody debris snags provide some diversity of habitat and structure. Good pool habitat lacking. Isolated pasture use impacts noted. Surprisingly high diversity of fish species observed (20 species) including some intolerant species (4 darter species, s.m. bass).
