<br />and electrofishing (both banks). Six sampling rotations (a weeks worth of effort) were <br />conducted; four from late July through August, and two in October. September <br />thunderstorms raised river levels over 10000 cfs and made the access road impassable, <br />negating September sampling. <br /> <br />T bl 1 Th fi 11 <br /> <br />a e e 0 oWIng summanzes catc JVS eCles an reac . <br />ZONE' GEAR....

The removal reach began at <br />river mile 248, two hundred meters above the inflow of the Duchesne River, and ended at <br />river mile 228, approximately II miles upstream of Sand wash. River miles were <br />measured with the confluence of the Colorado River set as river mile zero. The twenty <br />mile removal reach was arbitrarily subdivided into five equal, 4-mile sections. <br /> <br />Removal trips consisted of two days of electro shocking and six days offyke netting. Six <br />to ten river miles were shocked each day depending on catches and weather. <br />Electroshock removal was conducted from a 16' Jon boat. The boat moved down stream <br />while shocking. Stunned fish were removed with dip nets and kept in a live well. Fish <br />were processed every river mile or at major changes in river morphology. Twelve fyke <br />nets were set in each section. During the first day, twelve nets were set in section one. <br />During the second day, the nets in section one would be cleane,d and set in the second <br />section. This process continued until day six when the nets were cleaned and removed <br />from the river until the beginning of the next trip. The initial trip (0) was a two day trial <br />used to examine methods. Four eight-day trips were completed, and the fifth trip was <br />stopped after three days of netting due to low results. Total hours of effort for each <br />method through the summer are summarize in table 1. <br /> <br />3 <br />
