got a lot of them suckers and roundtails and some carp. We never did keep the carp. Now the carp in that river weren't muddy like a lot of them, but you could eat them,but we didn't care for them. Then there was that humpback squawfish, that's what we called them, the razorback. Their head wasn't too big and right behind the head was a bone that would come right up like this and then come back through the back and it was sharp, just narrow up there. It was a razor- back. " Tom Hastings (Green River, Utah), who lived along the Green River just upstream from the town of Green River, remembered razorback suckers being "thick" in the raceway underneath his family's water wheel. His brother Lawrence also remembered the suckers: "There used to be a lot of these humpbacks and the regular suckers, they would make their regular runs to spawn. They would go up there through the wheel pit, and there was a wad of them at that time. People would come up here and get them by the washtub full." Large concentrations of suckers were reported to have existed in the Duchesne and Price rivers in Utah. Frank Ross (Green River, Utah) recalled: "In the Price River up there it'd be lousy with them (razorback suckers), Duchesne River too, it'd be lousy with them. I never did see them in the Duchesne River, but I heard about them. I think, in the Price River they seined. Those coal min- ers, I think they used seines. Probably Greeks, you know, they come from the old country, they ate a lot of fish. I'm talking about way back when." Razorback suckers/Yampa River Kenneth Bailey (Hayden, Colo.) remembered catching razorback suckers in the "lower country," where the Yampa and Little Snake rivers meet and flow through Lily Park. "Well once when you got down there below... we saw two of 'em down there," he said. "I never caught many up here. That's a humpback sucker." Razorback suckers/White River Glen Glasgow (Meeker, Colo.) used to bait fish for suckers in the White River adjacent to town in the springtime, but he said they never caught any razorbacks nor Colorado squawfish: "I don't think the squawfish are up at this elevation. They were further down the river. I know that I caught some, yeah." Razorback suckers/Colorado River Near Debeque, Colo., Ray Case (Debeque, Colo.) remembered his wife occasionally catching what seemed to be razorback suckers from the Colorado River. "If you'd go down through the corral and there was the river. It had a sandy beach in front of the corral," Case said. "I seen suckers come in feeding, I guess, in front of that corral. She did catch some. They must have weighed 4, 5 or 6 pounds. There ain't no doubt about it, they was big fish. Some of them had sort of a hump in back of their head and some of them were straight shaped." According to Case, a popular spot to catch suckers, including razorbacks, in the Colorado River was the roller dam located above Palisade, Colo. Case took his family to the dam between the years 1944 to 1949 to fish. "We come in on the west side of that bridge and go around on the concrete Character- istics and dis- tribution 29
