110 FISHES AND FISFIESIES OF NEVADA
The writer has been able to sample the White River invertebrates
only in Pahranagat Valley and the Warm Spring region, and then
only in a minor way. His first visit to the Pahranagat Valley warm
Springs in 1937 was primarily a plant-collecting one and secondarily
a search for dragonflies. The usual large aggregation of water beetles,
bugs, dragonflies, mayflies and caseflies is found here, all of which are
good fish food, and vice versa.
