The Wood River sculpin (Cottus leiopomus) is a species of fish in the Cottidae family.[1] It is endemic to the Big Wood and Little Wood Rivers and their tributaries upstream of Magic Reservoir in Blaine County, Idaho in the United States.[2] Its habitat is similar to other sculpins: small to medium sized streams that are cool and have swift currents. It is a species of concern because of its restricted distribution.
