Some 2,600 to 6,200 rain- <br />bow trout have been stocked annually. The waters are too warm for <br />year-round habitation by trout. None have been found in the reser'voi r <br />section of the river (13), <br /> <br />Aquatic studies were made of the White and Yampa Rivers for <br />the Bureau of Land Management CBlM) by students and faculty from <br />Colorado State University from July 1975 through September of 1978, <br />Two fish-sampling stations on the White River were located at Spring <br />Creek and at Rio Blanco lake upstream of the confluence of Piceance <br />Creek. The Spring Creek sampling station was about a mile upstream <br />from the upper end of the proposed reservoir. During the more than <br />three years of sampling at the Spring Creek station using electro- <br />fishing and collection by seines, dip nets, gill nets, and plankton <br />nets, the researchers collected only six species of fish: carp, <br />roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, channel catfish, <br />and black bullhead. Over 72 percent of the collection were flannel- <br />mouth suckers and over 16 percent were roundtail chubs. No trout or <br />whitefish were collected at this station although over 13 percent of <br />the species collected at the upstream Rio Blanco lake station were <br />whitefish, Also in 1978, two Colorado squawfish, an endangered <br />species, were shocked and collected at the Rio Blanco Lake station <br />but no bony tail , humpback chub, or humpback suckers were collected (14). <br /> <br />Moderate pollution of the White River was indicated, Chemical <br />conditions were generally compatible with good fish production (14), <br /> <br />11-5 <br />
