Very possible, you would need to look for parts of the stream where there are deeper pools, thats where the fish will most likely be, probably wont find any big fish either

Maybe, maybe not. I found fish where I would least expect it, and not found it where I though there would be a lot. Only way to find out is to explore and see for yourself

They absolutely could have fish, ive caught trout and shiners in much smaller creeks. The most important things is that it has flowing water year round, and that is not too hot or cold. As long as those conditions are met, id bet money it holds fish.

I grew up catching trout in farm streams smaller that that in northern NH.

These are all examples of man-made stream restoration projects. Depending on how recently they were constructed they may still be too disturbed to have much life in them. Also, stream restoration is typically done on streams that are experiencing degradation (obviously), so there may not have been much life in them or the streams they’re connected to to begin with.
That said, fish *can* live in streams this small, and with cascades like you see here.

Brown trout could live in the bigger pools of steam like that with 0 problems.

Microfish likely. Size 20 hooks!

You’d be surprised the fish you can find in little streams like these. Find a nice section that has a pool more or less, stand back about 10-15 feet and watch for some fish to swim around. Brook trout can be very hard to spot, but they will live in water like this if it’s cold and clean enough. You may find sunfish, or even a bass might swim in there and find it to their liking.
It’s likely you will find frogs and crayfish, maybe some hellgramites depending on where you are. Look for other types of insect larvae as well. These are the things the fish want to eat, so if they’re not there, fish are likely gonna be scarce as well.

I’ve caught little trout in streams like these. Like the size of my finger, but still it was fun.
