Catch rates were greatest at all sites in 1989; significantly greater that year <br />at RMs 184.8 (0.72 fish /how) and 160 (0.574). In 1993 and 1996, catch rates for atl trend sites <br />dropped below 0.1 fish /hour, which, along with the 1986 results, represent ow lowest catch rates <br />on record. wth the exception of the anomalous results in 1989, catch razes at all fow trend sites <br />have been fluctuating at low levels since sampling began there, particularly when compared with <br />CPEs in Westwater Canyon (Chart and Ii,emsch 1997) or the Grand Canyon of the Colorado <br />River (Valdez aad Rye11996 ). <br />DRAFT 6 <br />,,.~ ~~oe ~zo~ ~ a~+es ,,•e~o e-ano a•~~ss <br />
