Abstract
Abstract Hoop nets were fished in all four major habitats in Wheeler Reservoir, a T.V.A. main-stream impoundment, during a six-months' period in 1941. Long-nose gar, mooneye, skipjack, mud catfish, black bullhead, white bass, sauger, and crappie were best represented in the catch from the fast tailwater; drum were taken in greatest numbers in the upper “third,” which had retained many of the characteristics of the original river; rough-fish species were most commonly caught in the middle section with its extensive shallow backwaters; and Kentucky bass were best represented in the lower “third” where the water is less turbid than in other portions of the reservoir.
