Description: The salient facts regarding heir life history can be post economi cally ascertained during the time the fish are inhabiting the streams. The study, therefore, was limited to the streams with only cursory examination of thee reservoir. This portion of the study deals with the fishing pressure and harvest of cutthroat trout from the streams. An attempt was made to estimate the number of cutthroat trout in the seven- to nine-inch size range. This was accomplished by releasing approximately 25,000 marked hatchery-reared cutthroat trout which were four- to nine-inch fish.
