South Fork Little Colorado River - upstream of fish barrier COA

The South Fork Little Colorado River will be managed for Apache trout recovery upstream of the two fish barriers. There are habitat issues throughout following the Wallow Fire and likely have had impacts on the trout population. There will be secondary management emphasis to explore establishing bluehead sucker, Little Colorado sucker, and speckled dace.
