Importance and Evaluation of Instream and Riparian Cover in Smaller Trout Streams

Abstract

Cover is an important trout habitat component resulting from the geomorphological characteristics of a stream channel, the streambank interface with the riparian community, and the streamflow. This paper quantitatively describes the significance of the riparian contribution to overall stream cover as related to brown trout population size.
