Table D.1. (cont'd). Daily summary data for captures and positive sightings of
Colorado squawfish with electrofishing in the Gunnison
River in the Redlands Diversion Dam plunge pool (river
mile [RM] 3.0) and in the 2.3-mile reach immediately
downstream of the Redlands Diversion Dam plunge pool to
the Colorado River confluence. Note: CS-Colorado
squawfish; cfs=cubic feet per second; NR=effort not
recorded; catch effort is total effort (total fish divided
by total effort).

a The USGS gage at Whitewater, Colorado was used to calculate flows downstream
from Redlands Diversion Dam. Flow data for Redlands Canal were obtained from the
State of Colorado, Division of Water Resources. Additional data were available
to determine streamflows in the 2.3-mile reach immediately downstream from
Redlands Diversion Dam from a gage installed by the Bureau of Reclamation (BR)
March 1994 at Gunnison River RM 2.6. The BR discharge was the daily mean of 24
hourly discharge values.
