Lazy YJ Ranch Tank (Upper Blue River) COA

In cooperation with the landowner, Lazy YJ Ranch Pond will be managed to maintain self-sustaining populations of roundtail chub and other native fishes. The pond will be stocked as necessary to maintain the native fish populations. Aquatic vegetation will be controlled and the pond dredged as necessary to maintain habitat. Populations will be monitored every few years to determine species status and whether or not any augmentations are needed.
