Description

This report presents a summary of the biological information gathered on fish populations in the upper Oldman River system during the initial five years (1991 to 1995) of operation of the Oldman River Reservoir. Populations of the major sport-fish species in the Oldman River Reservoir appear to have remained relatively abundant during the first five years of reservoir operation. Continued monitoring of fish populations in the Oldman River Reservoir is recommended because limnological and biological conditions within reservoirs commonly require longer than five years to stabilize.
