Notes

First day of Summer 'Low Flow' 5in30 testing at this 'site 3' ...
also nice to see 2-3" fry active in the 'pool' above this low water riffle.
Tree/shrub shading definitely aids in keeping H2O temp cooler on these Hot 20-25C days.
Note that historically we sampled in the late afternoon >> so temps. might be slightly lower
on these
