Adopt-a-Trout Program for the Henrys Fork of the Green River, Wyoming

Trout Unlimited will extend its existing Adopt-a-Trout program to the Henrys Fork River, a tributary to the Green River in the Colorado River basin. The project will include work with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and local schools to tag and monitor Colorado River Cutthroat trout movements to learn more about fish passage issues, areas of high entrainment, habitat use, and native and wild trout migratory patterns. Colorado River Cutthroat trout are native to the Henrys Fork River and occupy portions of the drainage; however, no data exists for Colorado River Cutthroat trout in the Wyoming portion of the Henrys Fork drainage to understand population dynamics and habitat restraints.FY2014Trout Unlimited will...

Final Report: Henry's Fork of the Green River Adopt-a-Trout

Trout Unlimited will extend its existing Adopt-a-Trout program to the Henrys Fork River, a tributary to the Green River in the Colorado River basin. The project will include work with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and local schools to tag and monitor Colorado River Cutthroat trout movements to learn more about fish passage issues, areas of high entrainment, habitat use, and native and wild trout migratory patterns. Colorado River Cutthroat trout are native to the Henrys Fork River and occupy portions of the drainage; however, no data exists for Colorado River Cutthroat trout in the Wyoming portion of the Henrys Fork drainage to understand population dynamics and habitat restraints.

Entrainment of Semi-Buoyant Beads and Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen texanus, Larvae into Flood Plain Wetlands of the Middle Green River, Utah

We released semi-buoyant beads and marked razorback sucker larvae into the Green River during spring run-off in 2004, 2005, and 2006 to evaluate drift characteristics of larvae and beads into flood plain wetlands. Based on drift rates and capture patterns, our findings from 2004 main channel only sampling suggested that beads and tetracycline-marked fish larvae were reasonable surrogates for one another based on similarities in drift capture patterns. We also captured substantial numbers of unmarked, wild-produced razorback sucker larvae in 2004. This demonstrated that stocked adult fish were successfully reproducing and that another spawning area may exist downstream from Razorback Bar (now named ?Escalante Bar?),...
