STUDY AREA <br />Starvation Reservoir is located in the Strawberry River drainage of northeastern Utah. It <br />is approximately 3,310 surface acres (and approximately 167,000 AF) at capacity and receives <br />inflow from the Strawberry and Duchesne rivers. The primary study areas were the reservoir's <br />outlet basin and spillway basin and athree-mile reach of river beginning at the base of the <br />stilling basins (Figures 2 and 3). These stilling basins connect to the river, thus any fish that is <br />able to escape from the reservoir may also easily access the river. This access was blocked <br />between the spillway basin and the river for the purposes of this study; this was not done <br />between the outlet basin and the river. In addition to sampling the Strawberry River, portions of <br />the Duchesne River (below the Knight and Myton diversions -Figure 1) were also sampled to <br />add information on smallmouth bass and walleye distribution downstream of Starvation <br />Reservoir. <br />5 <br />
