i <br />SUMMARY <br />Three thousand (3,000) Age 1 channel catfish were stocked into <br />Kenney Reservoir in September 1992. In 1993 a two year study was <br />undertaken to evaluate the potential of channel. catfish to create <br />a sportfishery in this reservoir. The project area for the study <br />was Kenney Reservoir and two five mile reaches of the White River <br />from the reservoir downstream to the Utah border. <br />Kenney Reservoir was sampled in July and August using <br />electrofishing, gill nets, trammel nets, baited hoop nets, and <br />trotlines. The White River was sampled in July and September using <br />electrofishing and baited hoop nets. The total sampling effort for <br />the reservoir and river was 2,171 hours. <br />The total catch of channel catfish in the reservoir was 107, of <br />which 97 were marked fish from the 1992 plant and 10 were of wild <br />origin. A total of 156 channel catfish were sampled from the White <br />River below the reservoir. None of these catfish were marked fish <br />from the 1992 plant. <br />Sampling will continue in 1994 using the same basic plan that was <br />used in 1993. <br />
