-28- <br />Carter Creek enters the Green River approximately 2 miles below Hideout <br />Forest Camp. Gradient of this stream, in the vicinity of the mouth, is steep. <br />r The bottom type is composed of rubble, sand and gravel. A series of old <br />beaver dams serve to slow the rate of water flow in the lower sections of <br />the stream. Carter Creek maintains a. flow during all months of the year, <br />and trout populations are present. Rainbow trout populations are maintained <br />by the Utah Fish and Game Department in the upper sections. These popula- <br />tions have migrated downstream and are present in the vicinity of the mouth. <br />Evidence of natural reproduction was found in rainbow x native crosses taken <br />at the mouth of the stream in October, 1959. <br />Little is known at this time of the status of Cart Creek. From cursory <br />surveys it appears to maintain flow during all months of the year. Gradient <br />is precipitous in the lower section; much of this percipitous area will be <br />eliminated by the reservoir water level. No flow data is available on rates <br />of discharge of this stream. <br />
