Basis for Assessment
Used information from the March/April 1996 "Iowa Conservationist" to assess support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses as FST due to information regarding good populations of channel catfish and very high numbers of 14 to 20" smallmouth bass in the catch-and-release reach downstream from Delhi dam.
