I've always heard how rare these endangered fish are in the Colorado drainage, so when my family went on a river rafting trip a couple of summers ago, I didn't expect to see one. I snuck a pole onboard and some worms and when we would make camp at night I'd soak a crawler in the eddies. I don't think I ever went more than 5 min without catching a fish....and guess what....more than half the fish were these "endangered" species. I caught upwards of 70 channel cats and 65 endangered fish (squawfish, razorback chub, and another one whose name escapes me). I caught these at several different places along the river, so I know it wasn't an isolated incident.
