Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates generally fair habitat. Old channelization and pasture impacts evident. Pools and riffles are formed in hardpan, some gravel and wood provide diversity of substrates. Fairly diverse fish community of minnow, sucker, and catfish species. Fish community is threatened by channelization impacts on habitat and probably by flow extremes.
