The pool is formed by scour off bedrock with a maximum depth of six feet, but part of the flow of the river is now deflected into a parallel channel. Photo by Pat Higgins.

Maximum pool depth was approximately four feet and there were more juvenile salmonids in this smaller pool than in upper Oz. Photo by Craig Bell. August 21, 2002.

Note the large average particle size distribution in this reach of the Garcia River where abundant February steelhead spawning occurred in 2002. Willow and alder recruits encroaching on the channel are indicative of low or moderate flow years since 1999. Photo by Craig Bell.
