<br />Black bass populations can be established in suitably sized impound- <br />ments at altitudes less than 1900m (6200 ft.) in Wyoming. A wide array of <br />predator-prey combinations have been tried in areas with short growing sea~ <br />sons, but none have been determined to be optimal for bass production. It <br />is reasonable to anticipate that a bass fishery could be maintained in <br />Wyoming with good impoundment management, especially with control and harvest <br />restrictions. Research is needed to develop predictive capabilities for <br />managers. <br /> <br />LITERATURE CITED <br /> <br />Ball, R. C., and J. R. Ford. 1953.
