OBSERVATIONS ON .FISH POPULATIONS
The following is a list of the fish taken in the Green River proper
and its tributaries and the type of gear used successfully in their capture.
An attempt ,has been made to list these fish in apparent abundance. This
listing is only approximate, however. Some of the tributaries, such as Sheep
Creek, showed a heavy concentration of sculpin in the lower section. Fontenelle
Creek, on the other hand9 showed a very heavy or dominating concentration of
rainbow in its upper section.
