    5 American Currents Vol. 41, No. 4 IOWA’S CURIOUS RECORD FOR LAKE CHUB (COUESIUS PLUMBEUS) John Olson Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Des Moines The Lake Chub Couesius( plumbeus) is a relatively large, slender-bodied minnow (Family: Cyprinidae) commonly reaching lengths of 4–5 inches and reaching a reported maximum of nearly 9 inches (Figure 1). There is usually a slender barbel near the tip of the maxillary. The Lake Chub is dark olive dorsally and is dusky white ventrally with a dark lateral band extending from the base of the caudal fin to the snout. Although superficially resembling the Creek Chub (Semotilus atromaculatus), the Lake Chub lacks the Figure 1. Lake Chub (Couesius plumbeus).

    IOWA CONSERVATION COMMISSION 300.- 4TH ST R EET DES MOINES, IOWA 50319 - A NOTE TO CANOEISTS - Canoeing is a challenge-a challenge to the canoeist's ability to handle his craft, but more important a challenge to the canoeist to use a stream or river and leave the waterway in the condition he found it. The majority of the trips in this booklet are on streams and rivers classed as non-meandered waterways. The stream bed and all adjacent lands to these waterwa s are the property of the landowner through whose land the water flows. Appreciate the fact that you are ag le to use the waterways. Respect the landowner and his roperty. Fences may inconvenience you at times but remember, the landowner is required by law to construct a &nce accross a non-meandered stream to keep livestock within his property lines. Try your utmost to cooperate with landowners. Whenever ossible, ask permission if you know you will have to portage or cross fences enroute. Obtaining permission is dou\ ly important if you plan to picnic or camp. On meandered waterways, all of the stream bed is owned by the state. The lands adjacent to the water may be state owned, county owned or privately owned. But no matter who owns the land don these meandered waterways, you, as a canoeist, are obligated to respect the property and leave it in the con 8!ition you found it. DO NOT BE A LITTERBUG! MEANDERED RIVERS The following is a list of meandered rivers and description of the upper limits of the meandered line: 1.

Radlinski, Acting Director Free on application to the U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. 20242 Index of Surface-Water Records to September 30, 1970 Part 5.-Hudson Bay and Upper Mississippi River Basins INTRODUCTION This report lists the streamflow and res e r v o i r stations in the Hudson Bay and Upper Mississippi River basins for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods through Septem­ ber 30, 1970. It supersedes Geological Survey Circular 575. It was updated by personnel of the Data Reports Unit, Water Resources Division, Geological Survey. Basic data on surface-water supply have been published in an annual series of water-supply papers consisting of several volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii. The area of the other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines. Prior to 1951, the records for the 48 States were published in14volumes,oneforeachof the parts. From 1951 to 1960, the records for the 48 States were published annually in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. Beginning in 1961, the annual seriesofwater-supplypapers on surface-water supply was changed to a 5-year series, and records for the period 1961-65 were published in 37 volumes, there being 2 or more volumes for each of 11 parts and one each for parts 10, 13, 14, 15 (Alaska), and 16 (Hawaii and other Pacific areas).
