ABSTRACT 



A complete program of stream reclamation was developed and 

 applied on Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National 

 Park. A salt -resistivity technique was used to estimate the dilution and 

 velocity of a toxicant in running water . Streamside toxicity trials on 

 resident fishes established minimal, effective concentrations of the 

 rotenone material. The successful removals of undesirable fish were 

 followed by restocking with selected strains of eastern brook trout and 

 rainbow trout. Post -reclamation observations demonstrated enhanced 

 survival, growth, reproduction, and catch of trout , Factors which might 

 limit the effectiveness of stream reclamation programs are discussed.
