Stream use assessment.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates fairly good habitat quality.  A little diversity of substrate and a few pool/riffle sequences observed.   Frequent channeliz.  noted.   Stream was assessed at the B(LR) - general use boundary.   Better habitat has been observed in middle and lower reaches of B(LR) where stream is generally meandering.   Very good fish species richness observed but rel.  few species with good number of individuals.   Game fish species observed (n.pike and ch.  catfish).   Fish kill investig.  in 1988 documented populations of game fish (r.  bass and s.m.  bass) and suggests a w.q.  impact from livestock waste.
