Show developments would impact fisheries, and they were opposed to any changes that would reduce current populations ( 1.2; 3.1; 4.2). The Lake Fork, Yellowstone, and Whiterocks rivers are also fished, especially below the reservation line ( 1.3; 3.1; 4.3). The high country lakes above the rivers are known to have good fishing too but no one was clear how much these are used by Utes ( 3.1; 4.4). The usage is probably limited because as one consultant ( 4.4) noted people would have to get a license to fish in places off- reservation. Sparks ( 1981: 49- 53) mentioned many varieties of fish which are available in northeast Utah, including: Family: Salmonidae Cutthroat trout ( Salmo clarki) Rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri) Golden trout ( Salmo aguabonita) Brown trout ( Salmo trutta) Lake trout ( Salvelinus namaycush) Brook trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis) Mountain whitefish ( Prosopium williamsoni) Arctic grayling ( Thymallus arcticus) Family: Cyprinidae Carp ( Cyprinus carpio) Utah chub ( Gila atraria) Roundtail chub ( Gila robusta) Leatherside chub ( Gila copei) Bony tail chub ( Gila elegans) Red shiner ( Notropis lutrensis) Redside shiner ( Richardsonius balteatus) Colorado squawfish ( Ptychocheilus lucius) Longnose dace ( Rhinichthys cataractae) Fathead minnow ( Pimephales promelas) Family: Catostomidae Utah sucker ( Catostomus ardens) Flannelmouth sucker ( Catostomus latipinnis) Bluehead sucker ( Catostomus discobolus) Mountain sucker ( Catostomus platyrhinchus) Humpback sucker ( Xyrauchen taxanus) Family: Ictaluridae Channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus) Black bullhead ( Ictalurus melas) 91 |
