◦ Four types of fish that frequent the Colorado River and Lake Powell are officially endangered because of the construction of dams and introduction of non-native species: the razorback sucker, Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub and bonytail.


Native


◦ In addition to the above, Lake Powell is naturally home to the bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, roundtail chub and speckled dace.


Non-Native Bass


◦ The National Park Service introduced three types of bass specifically for fishing purposes: the smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and striped bass.


Other Non-Natives For Fishing


◦ Other non-native species have been introduced into Lake Powell with the intent of challenging fisherman. These include walleye, rainbow trout, channel catfish, bluegill and black crappie.


Problematic Non-Native


◦ Though almost all non-natives are damaging to native ecosystems, the gizzard shad is causing many problems to the native and non-native fish populations because of its large size. The fish has spread throughout the lake and have no natural predators.
