INGRESS RATINGS. As used here. Ingress means the legal right to enter. 

 Judgement is used in assigning codes to ingress situations not described below. 



Code 



1 - A stream section bordered almost entirely by public lands which insure 



ingress by anglers (excluding state school sections). 



2 - A stream section bordered by a mix of private and public land where the 



public land is distributed in such a way that no significant portion of the 

 stream is unavailable by vehicle and/or walking. Floating may also be a 

 major means of access. 



3 - A stream section bordered by mostly private land where ingress is 



uncontrolled or readily available by permission. This portion may be 

 available by floating or through stream access laws. Also includes 

 corporate lands that are currently open but could go to individual 

 ownership in the future or company policy regarding ingress could change. 



4 - A stream section bordered mostly by private land where ingress is limited 



but some fishing is allowed. Includes minor portions where public land or 

 road crossing provides limited ingress. The portion through private land 

 may be available by floating or through stream access laws. 



5 - A stream section bordered entirely by private land where public fishing is 



available for a fee or where a small group has leased exclusive rights. 

 Legality may be in question on some streams but this category identifies 

 the current "fee" or "lease" fishing areas. 



6 - A stream section bordered mostly by private land where little or no ingress 



by permission is allowed. Floating is precluded by stream size or other 

 physical limitation (no road or public land reach stream) . 



7 - A stream or stream segment bordered by public land that is unavailable 



because of posting on private land or locked gates on private roads. 



ESTHETICS RATINGS. Esthetics are rated A (high) through E (low). Features that 

 detract from esthetics include: pollution, dewatering, channelization, riprap 

 (particularly car bodies and discarded building materials), mine tailings, a 

 busy highway along stream and severe land abuse. As a guide: 



A A stream of outstanding natural beauty in a pristine setting. 



B A stream comparable to A except that it may lack pristine 

 characteristics. Presence of human development such as roads, farms, 

 etc., usually comprise the difference between B and A. 



C A stream with natural beauty but of a more common type than listed 

 under A and B. A clean stream in an attractive setting. 



D A stream and area with fair esthetics. 



E A stream with low esthetics. 



F A stream of national renown.
