During the 1988 fires in the GYE, Minshall et al. (1989) observed fish kills in streams, but the extent and causes of mortality were not reported. While conducting other studies of watersheds in the GYE, we observed a fish kill in a burned watershed that occurred two years after the fires. In this paper we describe aspects of this fish kill and relate them to hydrologic conditions in this stream with an unburned watershed. ©1994 Brigham Young University.
