Abstract/Description or Keywords Comparisons are made of fish populations, invertebrate drift, stream temperatures and stream channel widths in recently clearcut and burned streams sections and adjacent upstream sections in standing timber. Jump Creek and Wolf Creek are considered. The standing stock of trout by numbers or weight per unit area was about twice as high in the timbered as in the logged section of jump creek, but the average size of trout in the logged section was greater. The definitive environmental factors are not clearly understood, but the differences possibly relate to higher water temperature in the logged areas.
