The Evening Hole was once a wide, shallow area that was susceptible to summer heat and provided few stream obstructions, such as logs and boulders, to serve as points of concentration for trout to wait in ambush for passing insects.

It was transformed to a faster-flowing stream with cooler water conditions and ideal habitat for trout.
