Challnel catfish removal be expanded into reaches of the Yampa River between Craig and <br /> <br />Deerlodge to reduce numbers of larger adult fish that may be an important source of the <br /> <br />Yampa Canyon spawning population and reproductive output in Yampa Canyon and the <br /> <br />middle Green River. <br /> <br />3. Channel catfish removal be incorporated into all ongoing field studies in tributary and <br /> <br />mainstem monitoring programs as feasible. <br /> <br />4. Angling and electrofishing are the most effective means of collecting channel catfish in the <br /> <br />Yampa River and should be employed in future removal/reduction efforts. <br /> <br />Literature Cited <br /> <br />Anderson, R. 2000.
