Warm Water
Poor
PARTLY CLOUDY SKY AND AIR TEMP. APPROX. 80 F. FLOW PROBABLY ABOVE NORMAL FOR JULY AND WATER WAS TURBID. STREAM BOTTOM VISIBLE ONLY TO 6"-8". VERY SWIFT CURRENT MADE WADING AND FISHING DIFFICULT. VERY NARROW TRENCH- LIKE CHANNEL W/ UNEVEN BOTTOM CARVED INTO HARDPAN. GENERALLY POOR SAMPLING CONDITIONS BECAUSE OF HIGH FLOW AND CURRENT VELOCITY. VERY FEW FISH SEEN & CAPTURED. EVEN SLACK WATER AREAS DID NOT HOLD MANY FISH.

FIBI Score Explained
Sites that score between 0 - 25 are considered poor. Fish abundance is usually lower than normal or, if fish are abundant, the collection is dominated by a few tolerant species. The number of native fish species present is low. Sensitive species and habitat specialists are absent or extremely rare. The population is dominated by just a few ubiquitous species that are tolerant of wide-ranging water quality and habitat conditions. Pioneering, introduced and/or short-lived fish species are typically the most abundant types of fish. Fish collected at poor sites often have a higher than normal occurrence of external physical anomalies.
This location has been classified as a Rejected Candidate Reference Site. This site was considered for Reference Site status, but subsequent biological assessments have determined that this site does not meet the qualifications of a Reference Site.
