Comment:
Presentation: This project addresses Council measure 10.5A.6 and considers how stocks relate to each other. In addition to conducting a low- level presence/absence assessment, it will look at limiting factors and develop recovery methods. We don't know much about bull trout in this area. Adult bull trout have been observed below Condit Dam and in the headwaters of the Klickitat.Questions/Answers:
Are you using the information from the Forest Service research in Lewis drainage? Answer: Yes.
What is WDFW doing internally to prioritize bull trout work? Answer: We have completed stock assessments and the status of 75% of the stock is unknown. We are developing spawning abundance studies and taking genetic samples. We are moving up the Columbia River now and are pursuing activities to fund project across the state.
What about the genetics work? Answer: There is nothing in this budget to cover it. We are hoping to do it in-house.
This information is needed. How can it best be accomplished? Answer: We are working with ODFW and YIN.
How will the genetics work change management practices? Answer: As we identify isolated populations we can see where connectivity can be restored. The broader scope is the relationship with dolly varden and where they occur together. This will help us deal with the Endangered Species Act. Re-introductions are also important.
Is Condit Dam a fish barrier? Answer: Yes. Do anadromous fish have access to the Klickitat? Yes.
How do you coordinate with project 9033? Answer: That group is focusing on the Yakima basin and we need to coordinate with them.
According to the proposal, the population above Condit is distinct. Would this area be a priority? How would removing the dam change the project focus? Answer: There are too many unknowns to act yet.
Explain the hydro impact to bull trout in the Klickitat. Response: 1992 work shows historic and current distribution. Bull trout used to be in the mainstem Columbia River but the dams have fragmented the populations.
What about the life history patterns? Are the mainstem pools their “ocean”? Answer: We don't know. That is part of what we want to find out.
Screening Criteria: Yes
Technical Criteria: Yes
Programmatic Criteria: Yes
General Comment: This project needs to coordinate with 9033, 9156, and 9095 to reduce costs.

Comment:
This proposal addresses bull trout populations in tributaries of the Columbia River Gorge. It is a straightforward study with genetics. The proposal should list personnel and provide linkages to other BPA studies. It does note ODFW collaboration. The proposal is not related to 9033, but it looks like the efforts are duplicitous regarding bull trout. 9033 does include assessment of more than bull trout.
