Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

West Fork Pinto Creek (Pinto Creek) COA

The West Fork Pinto Creek management unit will be managed primarily for native aquatic species including primary desired species of Gila topminnow and longfin dace. Green sunfish were captured below natural barriers located downstream from Miles Ranch in 2017 and may need to be removed. Habitat will likely need to be reevaluated following impacts from the Woodbury Fire.
