1945 and 1946; increased stocking and other management were generally recom- <br />mended. Klein (1952) discussed returns of tagged rainbow trout (Salmo <br />gairdneri) released to the White River in 1947. Lemons (1955) reported that <br />channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) were found only in the lower 32 km of <br />the White River and that the best fishing for that species was from <br />Rangely to the state line. Lynch and Lemons (1956) mentioned a few channel <br />catfish collected from the White River in their summary of age, growth and <br />weight data for that species. The salmonid populations in the White River <br />drainage above Piceance Creek were inventoried during the summer of 1955 by <br />Klein (1957) as a preliminary step in evaluating whitefish management in Colo- <br />rado. Mountain whitefish, rainbow trout, brook trout (Salyelinus fontinalis), <br />brown trout (Salmo trutta), cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki), speckled dace <br />(Rhinichthys osculus), flannelmouth suckers (Catostomus latipinnis), and blue- <br />head suckers (C. discobolus) were collected. <br />A survey of the White River above Rio Blanco Lake was conducted from <br />•1962 to 1965 by Hill and Burkhard to determine the impact of water develop- <br />ments by the Rocky Mountain Power Company and the Yellow Jacket Unit of the <br />Bureau of Reclamation's White-Yampa Project. Hill (1964) reported on physical <br />characteristics, fishes, and macroinvertebrates of the South Fork of the White <br />River. Rainbow trout were the most abundant fishes, but brook trout, brown <br />trout, cutthroat trout, and sculpins (.Cottus) were also collected by electro- <br />fishing. The aquatic insect orders Diptera (true flies), Trichoptera <br />(caddisflies), Ephemeroptera (mayflies) and Plecoptera (stoneflies) made up <br />95% of the total number and volume of benthic organisms collected from the <br />South Fork and Sweetwater Creek. Hill (1965) reported on habitat at various <br />4 <br />
