2007 Bear Creek Fish Sampling (Count) Results
by Karen C.
In the fall of 2007, the Division of Wildlife again sampled Bear Creek for fish population. Eight stations were sampled, and ETU aided in the electrofishing as several of the locations.
Locations sampled were:- Morrison
- Idledale
- Lair O' The Bear Park
- O'Fallon Park
- Downtown Evergreen
- Dedisse Park (above Keys on the Green)
- Williams' Property (downstream from Mt. Evans SWA)
The results can be shown in many ways. Sampling procedures measure the weight and size, plus species, of fish.

You can draw your own conclusions about the numbers. But it's clear that the Browns have not recovered, since 2002, at some of our favorite locations.
