Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

Cottonwood Creek (Salt River-Theodore Roosevelt Lake) COA

The Cottonwood Creek management unit will be managed for self-sustaining populations of native aquatic species including longfin dace and lowland leopard frogs. If the USFS agrees, Gila topminnow will be restocked to attempt to establish a population. If Gila topminnow are established, the population should be monitored at least once every three years.
