Abstract: A comparison of the two kokanee spawning stocks revealed no differences in lengths, age structure, or fecundity. Kokanee fry production was very low from Sheep Creek due to the influence of fine sediments, but the Green River did produce enough fry to sustain the stock. Kokanee spawned in deeper water in the Green River than in Sheep Creek due to the lack of suitable deep water habitat in Sheep Creek. Current velocities and substrate at spawning sites were similar between streams despite differences in the available habitat.
