Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of a September 1995 DNR stream use assessment.

Basis for Assessment

Used a review of the field sheet from the September 1995 DNR stream use assessment in Hancock County to assess support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) presence of a majority of the expected fish taxa (4 of 11) for low gradient streams in the Des Moines Lobe subecoregion and (2) indications on field sheet of relatively good quality quality aquatic habitat.   Two game fish species were present: channel catfish (YOY) and northern pike.
