Trout occurred at entrance to pools, sticklebacks tended to be in the middle where trout also occurred. Trout were more abundant in most seine hauls, though sticklebacks were very abundant in 2 or 3 of the seine hauls. Only 4 Cottus seined, all large (greater than 15 cm). Fish were collected in a series of adjacent pools separated by riffles along less than 100 m of stream. Also caught Oncorhynchus mykiss and Cottus asper. | ||||||
