Population parameters of biomass, <br />density and average size are lower than those at station #1. This can be correlated to the <br />better aquatic habitat conditions upstream. Station #2 was located ir. cottonwood/sagebrush <br />habitat characterized by unstable, erosive soils with few pools and overhead wver. Indirect <br />influences of road construction and erosion from the mine sites can be attributed to some of the <br />the poor habitat conditions, but mostly to soil and habitat type. However, a reproducing <br />population of small size brook trout exist in this section Beaver aze numerous downstream, and <br />are creating habitat conducive to brook trout. Brown trout aze coexisting with the brook trout <br />at present. <br /> <br />
