Comment on Glen Canyon Dam Flush (not the toilet!)

"The humpback chub lives primarily in canyons with swift currents and white water. Historically, it inhabited canyons of the Colorado River and four of its tributaries: the Green, Yampa, White and Little Colorado rivers. Now, there are two populations near the Colorado/Utah border [font "Symbol"]-[/font] one at Westwater Canyon in Utah and one in an area called Black Rocks, in Colorado. Though now smaller in number than they were historically, the two populations seem to be fairly stable in these two areas. Smaller numbers have been found in the Yampa and Green rivers in Dinosaur National Monument, Desolation and Gray canyons on the Green River in Utah, Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River in Utah and the Colorado River in Arizona. The largest known population is in the Little Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, where there may be up to 10,000 fish. There are no population estimates available for the rest of the upper Colorado River basin."
