Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Fayette County.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates above average habitat quality.  Very diverse substrates and several pool/riffle sequences observed.   Isolated cases of pasture use along stream corridor noted.   Frequent bank erosion also observed.   Relatively low diversity and abundance of fish species observed.   Seining was hindered by abundance of rocky substrates.
