Dorchester Assistant Project Leader Dingell-Johnson Project F=-3-R-7, Job B-15 June 1, 1959 - May 31, 1960 H. D. Dodgen - Executive Secretary Texas Game and Fish Commission Austin, Texas Marion Toole Kenneth C. Jurgens & William EH. Brown Coordinator Assistant Coordinators --- Page 2 --- ABSTRACT During this segment seining and hoop net collections were made on the Cypress Bayous and seining collections were made on the Sabine River. The Angelina, Attoyac, and Neches Rivers were not included because of a lake re- novation job that came up. It was determined that there were no major changes occurring in the fish populations of either stream as cyprinids were the most commonly collected fish from both bodies of water. Also the chemical properties of the water are about the same as during the initial surveys. The most significant change to take place on either stream was the creation of Lake 0' the Pines on Cypress Bayou. Recommendations are made to install boat launching ramps for better access to these streams. --- Page 3 --- Job Completion Report State of TEXAS Project No. F-3-R-7 Name: Fisheries Investigations and Surveys ; of the Waters of Region 5-B _ Job No. B-15 Title: Resurvey of the Major Streams in Region orBO Period Covered: June 1, 1959 - May 31, 1960 OBJECTIVES To determine the present status of the major streams and fish populations which have been surveyed in previous segments. INTRODUCTION Resurvey collections were to have been made on the Cypress Bayou, down to but not including Caddo Lake; the Sabine River; the Angelina and Attoyac Rivers; and the Neches River. The Angelina, Attoyac, and Neches Rivers were not resurveyed during this segment because of a major lake renovation job which came up after the resurvey job description was written. Time did not permit the continuation of this job. Collections were made on the Cypress Bayou and the Sabine River in approximately the same locations as the original surveys. It is difficult to compare collections in detail with the original surveys because the Cypress Bayou survey was reported in two reports (Project F-3-R-1, Jobs A-1 and B-5) and the Sabine River survey was reported in five reports (Project F-3-R-1, Jobs A-2 and B-6; Project F-3-R=2, Jobs A-3 and B-8; and Project F-3-R-3, Job B-9). The dates for these surveys are as follows: Cypress Bayou:- July 1953 through May 1954; Sabine River:- July 1953 through May 1956. Each of these streams is reported separately in this report. PROCEDURE AND FINDINGS Cypress Bayous Cypress Bayous include three streams, all of which join together before entering Caddo Lake. These streams are the Little Cypress, Cypress, and Black Cypress Eayous and all lie within Marion County except Little Cypress which forms the boundary between Marion and Harrison Counties. There were six collection stations visited, two on each: stream, in both the original survey and the resurvey. Seining was done with a 26- by 6-foot by }-inch mesh bag seine. In addition there was one hoop net (mesh sizes of one inch, ig-inches, and two inches) set at each location one night. Ecological data taken included water analyses which con- --- Page 4 --- sisted of pH, methyl orange alkalinity, chlorides, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, color, surface temperatures, and air temperature. A total of 12 collections were made at the six locations on Little Cypress, Cypress, and Black Cypress Bayous in Marion County. Table 1 gives these locations. Six seining collections yielded a total of 31 species compared to 35 seining collections and 55 species in the initial survey. Two species, Notropis volucellus and Percina caprodes, were recorded in the resurvey which were not collected in the initial survey. A total of 705 specimens were taken, compared to 1,793 taken initially, which shows that more specimens were taken per collection on the resurvey. As found before, cyprinids and other forage species made up the majority of the fish in the collections. Six hoop net collections yielded only two specimens compared to 61 collecticns which yielded 18 species and 97 specimens before. 8 oy The results of seining and hoop net collections are given in Table 2. Table 3 gives the ecological data collected. As can be seen, there are no major chemical differences in these waters and they are similar to conditions found in the initial survey, though resurvey data is more complete. The most significant change to take place on Cypress Bayou is the creation of Lake O' the Pines, formed by the construction of Ferrell's Bridge Dam located just above Ferrell's Bridge on Cypress Bayou which was a collection station. Cypress Bayou formerly fluctuated greatly over the year depending upon rainfall. Now it is expected that the water below the dam will remain at a fairly constant level, though the new lake won't affect the levels of Little Cypress or Black Cypress Bayous. There has been increased fishing pressure in the vicinity of Ferrell's Bridge and fisherman access in the particular area is better than it was in 1953-54. CONCLUSTONS Cypress Fayous Generally speaking there were no major changes in the fish populations in Cypress Bayous as near as could be determined by such a survey. The most important change noted is the forming of Lake 0' the Pines, which will stabilize the water level of Cypress Bayou and possibly make some changes in fishing pressure at such places as just below the dam, in the vicinity of the old Ferrell's Bridge, and at the mouths of Little Cypress “and Black Cypress. --- Page 5 --- Table 1. - Collection stations on Little Cypress, Cypress, and Black Cypress Bayous.

The first segment included all of. Gregg County, the second segment included Van Zandt, Wood, Upshur, Harrison, Panola, and Shelby Counties, and the third segment included Sabine, Newton, and Orange Counties. There were some 447 seining collections made which yielded 134,099 specimens and an undetermined number of species (this was undetermined because of the way the reports. were written). Though there were gill net, hoop net, and rotenone collections made in addition to seining collections on the initial survey, only seining collections were made on the resurvey. This method was faster and since the greatest numbers of fish were originally collected in this manner, it was felt that the best picture could be made of any major changes in the status of fish populations in the river, On the resurvey, there were 102 seining collections made which includes 84 collections on the river proper and 18 collections on tributary streams. These seining collections yielded 46 species of fish and 13,387 specimens. Usually only one seine haul was made at each station. Collections were made at bridge crossings above Long» view while collections below Longview down to Orange were made traveling by boat. Boat travel was greatly expedited by a timely rise in the river for those collections below Logansport, Louisiana. Table 1 gives a list of those species collected by seining as well as the numbers collected and times collected. It is interesting to note that after several years and through periods of drought and floods, the population of Notropis lutrensis has remained virtually large and unchanged. This species made up approximately 50 percent of the total numbers of specimens collected on each survey. Of the 102 collections made, Notropis lutrensis was'collected.on 71 occasions and the numbers collected each time ranged from 3 to 622. It is also interesting to note that the occurrence of this species began in the Longview area and was found from there on downstream. There are many sandbars and gravel shoals below Longview down to Orange. The river bottom above Longview is mud from the Blackland Prairie section, in which the river heads. It can be said that the most abundant and common species collected are cyprinids. This was also found to be true in the initial surveys even though the condition of the river at the two times varied from very low to near flood stage. Table 2 gives certain limnological data taken from each collecticn. This data is more complete than the data collected from the initial surveys as determined from information given in previous reports. However, chemical data seems to be about the same as before. , CONCLUSIONS Sabine River As near as could be determined by the resurvey, no major changes in the fish populations took place over the period of years between the surveys on the Sabine River. There is a tremendous forage fish population even though bait dealers _ remove thousands by "jugging". Commercial fishing forlarge fish is practical; nil although a few scattered fishing camps are present. --- Page 12 --- 10. RECOMMENDATIONS Both streams Since inaccessability is the major problem encountered by fishermen on both streams, it is recommended that it would. be beneficial to sport fishermen if boat launching ramps were installed at the major road crossings. Perhaps funds collected from boat registrations could be used for this purpose. This alone would help greatly to develop a sport fishery on these two streams. Prepared by John N.
