Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Dubuque County.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates slightly below average habitat quality. Frequent pasture use channel alterations and erosion of stream banks noted. Some diversity of substrates and several pool/riffle sequences observed. Relatively low fish species richness, but good numbers of fish observed. Abundance of aquatic vegetation suggests nutrient enrichment.
