Stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates below average habitat quality. Little substrate diversity and monotypic habitat observed. Stream is extensively channelized with livestock grazing also a factor. Frequent stream bank erosion noted. Nothing noteworthy about fish community. Better habitat may be found in other more meandering reaches which were not assessed.
