Basis for Assessment

Used information from the "Fishing Forecast" in the March/April 1998 Iowa Conservationist. This stream is identified as having "very strong numbers of naturally reproducing, vividly colored brook trout." The presence of a naturally reproducing population of brook trout in Iowa suggests exceptionally high water quality and habitat quality.
