Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results from September 1990 IDNR stream use assessment conducted in Sioux county.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates poor habitat, inadequate for supporting aquatic community during low flow periods. Crayfish and black bullheads only aquatic organisms noted.*
[*Note: the statement from the 1994 assessment that "crayfish and black bullheads only aquatic organisms noted" was incorrect. The fish species captured during that assessment were recorded in field notes for collection JRO-35-1990.]
