'It is expeoted that both trout and warm"'Water fishes would <br />exist 1n Trlnide,d Reservoir. Although the WIU'IIl"'lV1l.ter species suoh <br />as white ,c>>'llppie, 1Ihite bass, and yellow!;likeperoh might require, <br />cmlyan initial stooking of' transplanted fish or fry, and oocasional <br />restoo1dilgs, it is believed that trout oould be main'tained only on <br />a put-and-take basis. It is also possible that Buckers or other <br />rough fish might present a serious' obstaole to the maintenan080f <br />a sport fishery. other faotors adverse to a sport fishery would <br />inolude sedimentation and fluotuation. Sediment in the a:mollJ1t of <br /> <br />520 aore-f'eet per year would be deposited in 1:I1e reservoir, and' <br />'burbidity wo.uid be turther aggravated by wave aotion. <br />9. Areduotion in fish populations would ooour with ,e:tJY oomplete <br />draining of ' the reservoir and it is believed that 2 years would be <br />required in'N-elltablishingthe previous fiSbery. o.n thia basis, <br />the reservoir would have had a, low fishery value during 8 years <br /> <br />of the period efreoord. <br /> <br /> <br />10. SinO. the proposed projeot will not lIupply all of the <br /> <br /> <br />irrigation water JIIIeded in the area and lIinee evaouation of' 1:I1e <br /> <br />sedimen'tation pool is a distinot possibility, fishery prospeots at <br />Trinidad Re.enoir are poor.
