Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

Sycamore Creek Complex COA

Sycamore Creek Complex is a high-priority water. Management recommendations include monitoring species populations and habitat conditions. This complex has self-sustaining populations of roundtail chub, desert sucker, Sonora sucker, longfin dace and speckled dace, lowland leopard frogs, Sonora mud turtles and black-necked gartersnakes. Non-native green sunfish, fathead minnow, bullhead catfish and crayfish are present in some areas of this complex and may have a negative effect on native aquatic species. However, healthy native fish populations are in the upper reaches of the complex.
