Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in July 1991.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates average to above average habitat.   Stream is meandered in some reaches and channelized in others.   Fairly diverse fish community, but low numbers for many species.   Recent beaver activity was noted at several locations, complicating the stream assessment process.
