Temp at B 31.9°C. 1" below surface. A & B pools appear to be separate, B about 2" higher. Tods in both are disengaged, not very numerous (2-3 per foot square average) and could represent two matizes. The flow is westward in A while might account for wide disengagement of larvae. Creek is meandering, varies from 3-4' to 25' across with a half dozen "cascades" of a foot or two each.
