Alcova Reservoir , Wyoming (10), the diversion impoundment of the 

 Kendrick Irrigation Project, is on the North Platte River downstream from Path- 

 finder Reservoir. It was constructed in 193$. Arfnual fluctuation is extreme, 

 but during the period of study the difference in pool levels was only about 

 19 feet. It is 2,500 acres in size. The whole northwest shore and three main 

 points on the southeast shore are readily accessible. The fishery is primarily 

 of local interest. The species taken were the same as in Pathfinder Reservoir.
