In order to boost trout sUlVival and <br />promote growth, DWR now stocks rainbow trout once before and two times after the <br />Green River flows have peaked. A recent electro-fishing sUlVey indicated that the trout <br />were in good numbers and condition. While high releases in May and .Tunc may make <br />bank fishing more difficult, it should improve rafting opportunities. <br /> <br />As stated, the operations meet the requirements of the final Biological Opinion issued <br />under the authority of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Each year the operating <br />Federal agencies meet with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife SelVice to coordinate the <br />operations to meet the specific fishery recovery program needs for that season. <br /> <br />111111 <br /> <br />_Iofl <br />
