Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in 1991.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment forms indicate better than average habitat.  A moderate diversity of habitat provided by riffles, woody debris, and deep water habitat.   Good flow to support game fish pop.  and diversity of nongame species.   Good diversity of fish found at one location.   Size of stream may have hindered sampling effectiveness at other location where fewer types and numbers of fish were observed.
