Assessment Comments
Assessment based on IDNR fisheries surveys conducted in Cherokee and O'Brien counties in 1989; sampling by J. Olson and D. Howell.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of DNR fisheries surveys conducted as part of the 1989 Iowa Natural History Foray in Cherokee and O'Brien counties to assess support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) relatively diverse fish communities, (2) presence of sport fish (channel catfish) at both locations sampled, (3) relatively undisturbed riparian conditions in the areas sampled, and (4) presence of meandered channel with good diversity of aquatic habitats.
