Mountain whitefish ( Prosopium williamsoni) are found in cool streams ( of class III or better) such as the Duchesne River. The Bonneville cutthroat trout ( Salmo clarki Utah) are found in in cool rivers and lakes ( Class III+). Utah chub ( Gila atraria) are in all types of aquatic habitats. Suckers ( catostomus spp., Chasmistes liorus) are usually in pools, riffles, and lakes, although the C. liorus is reportedly found only in Utah Lake ( Sparks 1981: 49- 53). Ute. Uses., and. Methods., of . Procurement: Fish were and remain an important food source to the Utes ( 2.1; 3.1; 4.2; Lowie 1924: 200; Stewart 1942: 249; Sloane 1950: 319- 320; Garner and Hawley 1950: 325; Smith 1974a: 49; Janetski 1983: 60). Historically, the Uintah bands who occupied lands from the Wasatch front to the Uinta mountains were known to rely heavily on fish and had developed many ingenious ways to procure them. Weirs, traps, gorget and line, spears, and arrows were used in earlier times ( 2.1; Stewart 1942: 249; Smith 1974a: 61- 64, Smith 1974b: 5; Callaway et al. 1986: 342). Currently a fishing pole with a hook, bob, and sinker is probably more common than any of the older methods ( 4.2). LTse. by. Neighboring. PPopulations in the.
