Abstract

The four drainage systems of the Cyrus H. McCormick Experimental Forest were surveyed from May through October, 1975 to determine the distribution and relative abundance of fish. More than 2,500 fish were collected. Game species, such as brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) large mouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui), and northern pike (Esox lucius), were present but not in large numbers.
