Assessment Comments

Two stream use assessments in August 1991.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment forms generally indicate fair quality habitat.   Little diversity of substrates.   Riffles and pools formed in eroding hardpan provide some diversity of habitat and structure.   Fish community is relatively diverse and numbers of fish are good.  Evidence of fishing at site near Corning.
