Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Fundable

Comment:

Presentation: The goal of this project is to provide a subsistence and recreational fishery through natural production of native rainbow trout in the San Poil River. The initial phases of the project focused on habitat improvements (instream structures, large woody debris, fencing and channel restoration) in 5 tributaries. The habitat work has been completed and the project has 2 more years of monitoring (population sampling and adult returns).

Questions/Answers:

Is this an adequate length of time to monitor the effectiveness of the project? Answer: No.

Can other hatchery rainbow trout stocked in Lake Roosevelt go up the San Poil River? What prevents the hatchery fish from straying? Answer: Yes, hatchery rainbows can go up the San Poil, but we have never caught one in our weirs. We identify hatchery fish by fin condition and FLOY tags.

Screening Criteria: Yes

Technical Criteria: Yes

Programmatic Criteria: Yes

General Comment: There is some concern about how hatchery rainbow trout will impact wild rainbow trout.

Comment:

This proposal is well organized and includes good descriptions and goals for evaluation of habitat improvement activities. However, the proposal provides no history and no summary or descriptions of concrete results from past activities and monitoring; thus, there is no indication of how good their data really are. If the sampling is done primarily in shallow streams and rivers, electrofishing would be a better sampling method than hydroacoustics. A great deal of work is proposed (perhaps overly optimistically) to be completed in one year.
