Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in 1992.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates fairly good habitat quality. Some diversity of substrate and a few pool/riffle sequences observed. Isolated cases of pasture use along stream corridor noted. Moderate diversity of fish species observed. Fish community dominated by generalist/tolerant species. Estimated flow (0.5 cfs) was surprisingly low given the size of the watershed. Losing stream?
