Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

La Barge Creek (Salt River-Apache, Canyon, and Saguaro Lake) COA

The LaBarge Canyon management unit will be managed for native aquatic species with a primary desired species being Gila Topminnow. Monitoring and habitat assessment may be needed following impacts from the Woodbury Fire. Additional topminnow will be stocked into the three locations (Charlebois Spring, La Barge Spring, and La Barge Canyon) every 5 to 10 years to maintain genetic variation.
