Common use of Lake Chelan Tributary Estimates of Juvenile Westslope Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout Abundance, WDFW Clause in Contracts

Lake Chelan Tributary Estimates of Juvenile Westslope Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout Abundance, WDFW. Beginning in 2011 WDFW has conducted annual fish abundance surveys on select lake tributaries on a three year rotational basis. This sequence of surveys will begin again in 2014. These surveys are conducted to obtain information on adfluvial WCT and XXX population abundance, age class composition and other biological characteristics. Tributaries to be surveyed include First, Twenty-five Mile, Railroad, Mitchell, Fish, Grade, Gold, Prince, Big, Four Mile, Cascade Pyramid and Safety Harbor Creeks. WDFW surveyed Twenty-five Mile, First, Xxxxxxxx, Grade and Safety Harbor Creeks beginning in 2011, thus these tributaries will once again be sampled in 2014 as per the three year rotational agreement. Environmental and physical conditions in Railroad Creek have prevented WDFW from conducting surveys in this tributary thus far. In 2014 WDFW will attempt to survey Railroad Creek earlier in the season so that stream discharge may be more conducive to the sampling methods used.

In 2014 WDFW addition to and as time, reliable lake transportation, and personnel availability allows, the following creeks may also be investigated and surveyed if feasible: Poison, Lightning, Little Big, Xxxxxx Harbor, Coyote, Deep Harbor, Lone Fir, Castle, Bear, and Xxxxxx Creeks. If surveys are successful for any of the aforementioned tributaries, they will attempt to survey Railroad Creek earlier in then fall into the season three-year rotation. Surveys on these creeks have not been conducted since 1982 and so that stream discharge may be more conducive to the sampling methods usedserve as additional comparative information.
