Silver Creek - Woodruff Dam to White Mountain Lake COA

The portion of Silver Creek, upstream of Woodruff Dam to White Mountain Reservoir, has a primary management objective to support native fish populations. This portion of Silver Creek has had significant negative effects in regards to native fish population potential including habitat degradation, agricultural effluent, and a heavy component of undesirable non-native fishes. Little Colorado spinedace were formerly found downstream of Snowflake, though have not been found in years and this portion of the creek has a large number of predatory non-native fishes.
