Habitat

<p>Overstorey predominantly native (revegetated) provides extensive cover and shading across channel but understorey is very weedy.&nbsp; Frequent large clumps of instream vegetation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sand and gravel substrate with introduced large boulders creating riffles and controlling erosion.&nbsp; Banks largely protected but some erosion on northern bank.&nbsp; High flow event within last week increased depth to ~0.5m which has flushed leaf litter from low banks.</p>
