Comments: Observed to seasonally occupy two different types of habitats. In spring season, breeding individuals typically occurs in gravelbottomed and cobble substrate riffle areas and swift chutes and runs of up to approximately 1 m deep.  Inhabits deeper pool habitats for the remainder of the year.  Also reported to inhabit deep, swift riffle areas with rocky substrates
  and thick growths of <i>Podostemon heterophyllum in spring.  During fall, a single specimen was collected from a sluggish siltbottom pool at the confluence of the Ouachita River and Lake Ouachita.  Also observed to have preference for a late-summer microhabitat of upstream edges of runs that invariably included slight surface agitation and a high
  percentage of cobble substrate.
