<br />them. That's why I asked. <br /> <br />MR. KOCHMAN: With the manpower that is available to the Division in <br />collecting data, we haven't had the resources to do entire watersheds. <br />We have taken streams that are most available that we can get to to <br />collect data. Now, granted, consistency-wise, if we.could do the entire <br />Yampa or the entire Roaring Fork or the entire Rio Grande -~ <br /> <br />MR. BROWNELL: I mean like La Garita Creek, there are prooably five <br />little streams coming into it with various names and you are only asking <br />for two. Why not all five? <br /> <br />MR. KOCHMAN: The two that we have asked for, we have data to support <br />those recommendations. We have no data on the rest of them. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. BROWNELL: Well, it's just another half a mile to the next one. I <br />don't see why they couldn't have walked that far to have gotten that <br />done. I think there should be some method in this. I hate to see <br />every time one little old stream up here and you have left the others. <br />As a~Board here, I think we ought to demand that each stream be taken <br />as a whole, maybe.not a river, but these little streams should be. <br /> <br />MR. WEIEER: . Maybe I can answer that better than Eddie. 'BillW~'i1eJ;, <br />again, with the Division of Wildlife. All the stre.ams in La Garita <br />drainage were done. The ones that were listed here were the only ones <br />that contained:fish population, so these were the only ones we have <br />filed on. . . <br /> <br />MR. BROWNELL: I have fished on Perry Creek and it's.right on La Garita <br />drainage. It's got a good beaver pond there. <br /> <br />MR. WEIEER:' You were..fishing in La Garita Park? . <br /> <br />MR. BROWNELL: No, it's up above La Garita Park. <br /> <br />MR. WEIEER: :rhere is Benino Creek up there which contains a tremendous <br />amount of brook trout. <br /> <br />MR. BROWNELL: So does Perry. <br /> <br />MR. WEThER: There wasn't anything in Perry Creek, when we checked it. <br /> <br />MR. BROWNELL: Then what did I catch? (Laughter) <br /> <br />MR. WEmER: Any other questions on the Cimarron? <br /> <br />MR. FORD: The question was that it's dried'up by irrigation on certain <br />portions of it. <br /> <br />MR. WEIHER: Most of the creeks in the Montrose area. do have dry sections <br />in them. . Hopefully with some of these creeks maybe we can prevent that <br />a hundred years from now, maybe not right now. There are dry sections, <br />right, sir, and even on the Florida River in the San Juan Basin. Right. <br />at Highway l60 which is dry during the summer for two or three months, <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />-28- <br />
