Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the September 1994 DNR stream use assessment approx 3 miles W of Ft. Dodge to assess support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (28) much better than the overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) indications on field sheet of very diverse substrates, several pool/riffle sequences, no channel alterations (very rare for DNR stream habitat assessment), and relatively stable banks, (3) fish score (12) better than the 75th percentile score (10) for assessments made with seines, and (4) field sheet comment ("many areas too deep, wide, rocky to seine"). DNR fisheries survey approx 3 miles further upstream supports the September 1994 stream use assessment.
