| Province / Subbasin | Mountain Snake / Clearwater |
| Short description | We are proposing a 12 month genetic study to identify if native wild redband trout exist in the North Fork Clearwater basin, and determine if introgression from hatchery rainbow trout threatens native redband and cutthroat trout in the basin. |
| Target species | redband trout, westslope cutthroat trout |

Genetic Inventory of Westslope Cutthroat Trout in the NF Clearwater basin |
this proposed project will supplement information that has been acquired in 9501600 testing introgression and species distribution |

Dworshak Rule Curves |
this proposed project will determine if a native fish, currently not identified, exists in the NF Clearwater basin and should be considered in the evaluation of multipurpose dam operations on resident fish in Dworshak Reservoir |

Comments:
This project is intended to show whether redband trout exist in the North Fork Clearwater River basin, and to determine whether rainbow trout have introgressed into redband populations. It is of interest to know whether redband trout exist in the basin; however, if redbands are present, introgression is likely. In any case, knowledge that their gene pool now includes rainbow trout genes is of little utility primarily because there is no reasonable way to regain their original genetic structure. The best to be done now, is to stop stocking exotic rainbow trout. If a decision is made to continue stocking Dworshak Reservoir with trout, the brood stock should be from the native fishes. The project may have some potential benefit to the extent that remnant native populations can be identified, and the project should focus more an tasks related to this objective.

Screening Criteria: no-The measures listed don't address redband.Technical Criteria: no-There is no evidence that the population is in poor shape. It doesn't meet Criteria 6-8. Projects 20148, 20147, 20156, 9501600, are all doing native fish surveys in the same basin for $650,000. Unnecessary detail on a very small area (over researching the area)
Programmatic Criteria: no-It does not address urgent threat to population
Milestone Criteria: no-It is a survey based proposal.
General Comments: This could have been sub-component of other project.
