Northern Pike #40:7919 (NP791) <br /> <br /> <br />n <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />NP791 was captured by electrofishing on 23 July 1996 at RM 79.5. Before 12 Aug. 1996 <br />this fish had moved to a long relatively deep channel of the river which contained two <br />pool habitats and one backwater area, but mostly consisted of run type habitat. NP791 <br />was found on occasion using each of the habitats available in this section of river (Figures <br />30 and 31). During the course of this study, NP791 never moved from this section of the <br />Yampa River, in fact, the entire range of this fish during the study was less than 1.0 river <br />miles. <br />Northern Pike #40:6135 (NP613) <br />NP613 was captured by angling on 29 July 1996 from a deep pool habitat at RM 80.1. <br />This pool was almost 0.2 river miles in length and estimated at greater than 12 feet deep <br />in some areas. NP613 stayed within this pool habitat through 9 Sep. 96, however was <br />located near the tail end of the pool on 16 Aug. 96. By 10 Sep. 96 this fish had moved <br />upstream through a run to a backwater habitat that ran along the north side of the river. <br />NP613 remained in or near this habitat throughout the remainder of the study (Figures 32 <br />and 33). <br />Northern Pike #40:5936 (NP593) <br />NP593 was captured by electrofishing on 26 July 1996 at RM 77.2. The habitat where <br />this fish was captured was a large slow moving pool with a maximum depth estimated at <br />about 15 feet. NP593 remained in this habitat until 26 Sep. 96 when it was located in a <br />pool 0.9 river miles upstream at RM 78.1 (Figures 34 and 35). The river morphology at <br />this location consists of a long deep run with two areas of pool habitat. This area was <br />previously described as part of the habitat used by NP791. NP593 was located in the <br />deep area of the upper pool throughout the rest of the study. <br />Draft Yampa River Radio Telemetry Report <br />Miller Ecological Consultants, Inc. <br />Page 43 <br />December 13, 1996
