status of the entire fish community in the warm-water reaches of the Little Snake
River and learn more about why and when Colorado squawfish and humpback
chub use the Little Snake River. In 1994, we conducted this study with funding
from the National Park Service and in 1995 a similar study with similar objectives
was funded by the Recovery Program. The goals of this study, in 1994, were to
determine the importance of the Little Snake River to endangered fishes,
specifically Colorado squawfish and humpback chub and in the process, to
characterize the composition of fish in the Little Snake River.

Objectives:
1. To identify when and why Colorado squawfish and humpback chub occupy
the Little Snake River.
2. To identify the fish composition of the Little Snake River during runoff and
baseflow.
