<br />4 <br />document) are very expensive for the CDOW to maintain. <br />• <br />Angler satisfaction in the Northwest Region cannot be maintained by stocking <br />trout alone. Many anglers prefer to catch and eat warmwater fish. The demand for <br />~ warmwater sportfishing is expected to grow as the population in the Region increases, <br />and particularly as more people move into the area from other parts of the country <br />where warmwater fish provide most sportfishing opportunities. Surveys show that <br />~ in 1991 an estimated 10,000 to 13,000 anglers fished approximately 66,000 days <br />for warmwater fish species in the Northwest Region. The stockings proposed in this <br />document would be done to improve management of sportfisheries. All sportfish <br />• species proposed for stocking currently exist in northwestern Colorado and are <br />currently present in some of the waters being considered. No new fish species are <br />proposed for introduction to the Colorado River drainage basin. <br />• <br />Freauency of Flooding in the Floodolain <br />All gravel pit ponds proposed for stocking in this document lie in the floodplain <br />~ of the Colorado River. The Interim Procedures state that floodplain ponds should not <br />be stocked where the frequency of flooding is greater than once every 40 years. <br />The most recent high runoff years were 1983, 7 984, and 1993. For runoff <br />~ levels in the Colorado River, 1983 was a 60-100 year event, 1984 was a 50-75 year <br />event, and 1993 was a 7 0-20 year event (Ed Vail, USGS, personal communication, <br />1994). All ponds proposed for stocking in this document are believed to be above the <br />~ 40-year floodplain. Maps that delineate the 40-year floodplain will not be available <br />C <br />
