Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Jasper County.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates better than average habitat for a small stream in this locale.   Some diversity of substrates and several pool/riffle sequences noted.   Fair diversity of fish observed.   Seining was hindered by snags and rocks.   Flow stability and channelization are probable threats to integrity of aquatic community.
