Echo Park Dam study shows potential fishing benefits and wildlife impact
Colorado official notes Echo Park Reservoir would flood 43 000 acres in a narrow canyon and back water 63 miles up the Green River. Fisheries inventory indicates traditional trout and whitefish habitats would shift with species like channel catfish and chub present. a bass and walleye fishery could develop in upper lake zones. Deer and mountain sheep likely suffer minimal loss. migratory birds along the Green and Yampa rivers would remain abundant with important nesting grounds in Big Browns Park and adjacent shelves.
