Figure 5. Frequency distribution of age-O northern pike CPUE (age-O northern
pike collected per 10 min of electro fishing effort) in 2002 and 2003 from river
backwaters and a gravel pit pond. Gravel pit pond sampling areas consisted of
two sites; one where adult northern pike were collected during spawning and
one where the outlet stream of the pond connected to the Yampa River. There
were two sampling periods in 2002 and 3 sampling periods in 2003.
