Percent cover of aquatic macrophytes was visually estimated at two <br />• stations; lower Foidel Creek and lower Fish Creek. Estimates of cover <br />were sketched on a field map where one inch equaled about 200 ft. <br />2.4.2 Fish <br />Fish were sampled by backpack electroshocker at lover Foidel Creek <br />and lower Fish Creek, Julp 6, 1979. A Colfelt Model HPI-C backpack <br />unit, powered by a one horsepower gasoline engine was utilized. Due to <br />the narrowness of the channel and abundance of American eelgrass in <br />lower Foidel Creek, seining was not attempted. Seining was also not <br />attempted in lower Fish Creek as the efficiency of electrofishing was <br />considered sufficient. Furthermore, clearness of the water at this <br />station indicated the absence of schools of fish. <br />At lower Foidel Creek the stream was electrofished is an upstream <br />direction from the road crossing to the dam of the small impoundment or <br />about 100 yards. Approximately 200 .yards of stream were fished in an <br />upstream direction (about 100 yards above and below the USGS gaging <br />station) on lower Foidel Cteek. All fish captured were identified to <br />species, measured, and condition noted. <br />r 1 <br />
