Comment:
A response is needed. This research is well designed and could provide useful information on bull trout migration and life history diversity in the Lower Columbia. The research will attempt to quantify winter survival, migratory success of adults, and relative abundance of resident and migratory life histories using novel sampling techniques. A more thorough discussion of the mark-recapture procedure for estimating downstream migrant abundance is needed. How will the estimates be calculated? Will smolt trap efficiencies be determined? How often will the in-stream backpack surveys be conducted? Will the entire length of the study reach be surveyed? The in-stream surveys would seem to provide an excellent opportunity to document reach scale and channel unit scale habitat use. Conceivably, the applicants could detect seasonal changes in habitat use and determine if resident and migratory life history forms utilize different habitats. The authors should consider adding an objective pertaining to fish habitat use with a commensurate budget increase.Comment:
USFWS has identified that this project is a BiOp project. CBFWA believes this is a potentially useful and interesting research project; however, it is unclear how results will be used in the management of bull trout. It is also unclear why this work shopComment:
Fundable, agree with CBFWA recommendation of high priority. This research is well designed and should provide useful information on bull trout migration and life history diversity in the Lower Columbia. The response addresses the full range of reviewer questions, including an assessment of habitat characteristics and location. The research will use novel technique to quantify winter survival, migratory success of adults, and relative abundance of resident and migratory life histories. Instream surveys coupled with GPS sensing will efficiently document reach scale and channel unit scale, and should detect seasonal changes in habitat use and determine if resident and migratory life history forms use different habitats.Comment:

Comment:
Recommend not funding at this time. Defer potential implementation until a bull trout recovery plan is completed. At that time a regional forum should be convened to develop projects to meet the bull trout recovery plan goals. We also note that this project's relationship to the FCRPS's responsibility for bull trout mitigation is not clear.Comment:
