Assessment Comments
Two stream use assessments in July 1991.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates generally average quality habitat. Sand substrate is dominant. Old channelization impacts are evident. Timber riparian vegetation results in numerous snags which provide cover and structure in the stream. Fairly diverse fish community, but numbers of fish observed were somewhat low. Fishermen at bridge with catch of channel catfish. Sediment and extremes of flow are probable threats to integrity of aquatic community.
