Description

The Flannelmouth sucker (Catostomus latipinnis) is the largest species of native fish still relatively abundant in Grand Canyon (maximum length of 24 inches (600 mm). They mostly live in the mainstem Colorado River, preferring pools and deep runs. In the spring, they spawn in many of the larger Colorado River tributaries in Grand Canyon, including the Paria River, Little Colorado River, Havasu Creek, and as seen here, Bright Angel Creek. Take a "Minute Out In It" to experience the beauty of spring revival!
