Importance. The Gunnison River is currently occupied by wild Colorado pikeminnow and is historic habitat for razorback sucker and bonytail. Several adult Colorado pikeminnow were captured in the Gunnison River in fishery surveys conducted in 1992 and 1993. Unrestricted migration of fish has been limited by the 10-foot high Redlands diversion dam located 2 miles upstream from the mouth of the Gunnison River. Several Colorado pikeminnow larvae have been collected in the Gunnison River upstream and downstream of the Redlands diversion dam. Xxxx (1977) reported that adult razorback sucker were collected frequently by commercial fishermen near Delta, Colorado, between 1930 and 1950. Wild razorback sucker have not been collected in the Gunnison River in recent times, although the reach near Delta is considered a priority razorback sucker restoration site.
