Aquatic Resource Management Plan by Major Hydrounits and Subdrainages <br />1. Upper Yampa River Hydrounit: <br />The majority of these waters represent coldwater lake <br />and stream habitats in headwater drainages. Only two <br />impoundments are categorized as warmwater fisheries. <br />Twenty-two percent of the lakes and 10 % of the stream habitat <br />are managed intensively. This includes 28 intensive <br />management waters (1,115 ac and 214 mi), of which most are <br />small, put-and-take coldwater lakes <30 ac in area and <br />stocked, coldwater streams. Most of the stocked fishery <br />resource in terms of surface area is found in 5 lakes/reservoirs. <br />A substantial amount of habitat (50 % of lakes/45 % of streams) <br />is devoted to recreational fishery resources within the 270 <br />optimum management waters (2,570 ac and 956 miles). <br />Significant fisheries in this category include 94 high lakes <br />representing over 800 ac, Steamboat Lake (1,081 ac), and 164 <br />wild trout fisheries in over 900 stream miles. One hundred <br />seventy-seven coldwater streams (961 mi) and 28 standing <br />waters (441 ac) are managed for the conservation of native <br />aquatic wildlife, and represent 45 and 8.5 % of stream and lake <br />habitat, respectively. Within these conservation waters, 19 <br />streams covering 120 miles and four lakes totaling 93 ac are <br />managed for Colorado River cutthroat trout. Forty (40) lakes <br />or reservoirs totaling 1,041 ac are privately-owned and not <br />managed by CDOW. Management strategies for the seven <br />listed subdrainages are provided below. <br />Wild trout <br />STREAMS Put-and grow <br />::::..Coldwater streams 23% <br />. <br />Put-and-take <br />WA---p, Coldwater streams <br />:': is <br />Colorado River 5:896 <br />cutthroat trout ..... 39:59f? <br />Native/Unique Species <br />LAKES <br />Put-and grow <br />Coldwater lakes <br />High takes <br />Put-and grow 6:?5 <br />Warmwater lakes <br />Colorado River <br />cutthroat troul <br />1.8% <br />Put-and-take <br />Warmwater lakes 0.2% <br />Put-and-take <br />Coldwater lakes <br />NativeNnique Species <br />Figure 4.
