<br />bass recaptured less than one year after release and 84% of 588 bass recaptured more <br />than one year after release. The remaining recaptured small mouth bass that emigrated <br />out of Little Yampa Canyon moved in both up and downstream directions (Table 11). <br />The majority of emigrants moved upstream but emigrants moved the farthest distances <br />downstream. Emigrants recaptured in the same year as their release moved a <br />maximum of 40 miles and those recaptured more than a year after their release moved <br />a maximum of 90 miles. Smallmouth bass that immigrated into Little Yampa Canyon <br />came from both upstream and downstream reaches (Table 11). Immigrants recaptured <br />in the same year as their release moved a maximum of 47 miles from their original <br />release location and those recaptured more than a year after their release moved a <br />maximum of 100 miles to reach Little Yampa Canyon. The majority of immigrants came <br />from downstream reaches and moved upstream to reach Little Yampa Canyon. (Table <br />11 ). <br /> <br />Of the smallmouth bass recaptured after release at Lily Park, most remained there at <br />recapture, including 87% of 88 bass recaptured less than one year after release and <br />41 % of 32 bass recaptured more than one year after release. The remaining recaptured <br />smallmouth bass that emigrated out of Lily Park moved out in both up and downstream <br />directions (Table 12). Emigrants recaptured in the same year as their release moved a <br />maximum of 30 miles and those recaptured more than a year after their release moved <br />a maximum of 70 miles. Small mouth bass that immigrated into Lily Park came from <br />both upstream and downstream reaches. Immigrants recaptured in the same year as <br />their release moved a maximum of 30 miles from their original release location and <br />those recaptured more than a year after their release moved a maximum of 71 miles to <br />reach Lily Park (Table 11). <br /> <br />Recapture of tagged Elkhead Reservoir escapees- Of 3,484 tagged smallmouth bass <br />translocated to Elkhead Reservoir during the study period, 5% escaped and were <br />recaptured either in the Yampa River (n=184) or at the dam spillway (n=2; Tables 13 <br />and 14).
