Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Fayette County.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates fairly good habitat quality despite frequent pasture use along stream corridor.   Very diverse substrates and numerous pool/riffle sequences observed.   Fair diversity of fish, but generally low numbers per species.  Abundance of rocky substrates hindered seining.
