| B | 63 | Rear Fish | Yearling Kokanee Salmon Acclimation and Release | Acclimation will commence with transfer of up to 300,000 kokanee yearlings from the Spokane Tribal Hatchery in March to Sherman Creek Hatchery Raceways. These will be received at 25 fish per/lb. They will be reared under current WDFW fish culture guidelines which include density, flow, feeding and health specifications found in part in US Fish & Wildlife Service, Fish Hatchery Management Manual, Piper, R.G., 1982. These fish will then be released at Hawk Creek in June at 10+ per/lb.
These fish are currently at the Spokane Tribal Hatchery awaiting transfer. | Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) | Burbot (Lota lota), Pikeminnow, Northern (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) [OBSOLETE], Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) [OBSOLETE], Wildlife |
| C | 63 | Rear Fish | Domestic Stock Rainbow Trout Fingerling Rearing | Rear up to 300,000 rainbow fingerlings for transfer into the Lake Roosevelt Net Pens for winter rearing. These fish will be received from the Spokane Tribal Hatchery in June at 90 fish per/lb. and reared in the raceways until they are transferred to the volunteer net pens in October at approximately 15 fish per/lb.
They will be reared under current WDFW fish culture guidelines which include density, flow, feeding and health specifications found in part in US Fish & Wildlife Service, Fish Hatchery Management Manual, Piper, R.G., 1982.
These fish will then be reared over winter by the Rainbow Trout Net Pen Project for release into Lake Roosevelt after the spring drawdown. | Trout, Rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss) | Burbot (Lota lota), Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka), Pikeminnow, Northern (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) [OBSOLETE], Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) [OBSOLETE], Wildlife |
| D | 63 | Rear Fish | Redband Rainbow Trout: Rearing | Rear up to 100,000 wild redband rainbow trout yearlings annually in the SCH net pens for release into Lake Roosevelt. The Colville Trout Hatchery (WDFW) performs incubation and early rearing then transfers these fish to the Sherman Creek Hatchery Net Pens (river mile 699), in November at 75 / fish per pound for release the following November at >10 / fish per pound.
They will be reared under current WDFW fish culture guidelines which include density, flow, feeding and health specifications found in part in US Fish & Wildlife Service, Fish Hatchery Management Manual, Piper, R.G., 1982.
This portion of the project is attempting to address the use of native stocks as recommended by the NPPC Fish and Wildlife Plan (2000-19) and the Upper Columbia Subbasin Plan, as well as that outlined by the Independent Scientific Review Panel.
These fish are reared cooperatively with the Colville Trout Hatchery until large enough, (75 fish per pound) to transfer to Sherman Creek for final rearing and release into Lake Roosevelt. | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | Burbot (Lota lota), Pikeminnow, Northern (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) [OBSOLETE], Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) [OBSOLETE], Wildlife |
| E | 60 | Maintain Fish Health | Fish Health Monitoring | To produce healthy fish through an effective fish health monitoring, feeding, treating, water flow and density rearing program. The WDFW Fish Health Program performs the fish health monitoring for the Sherman Creek and Spokane Tribal Hatcheries and for the Lake Roosevelt Volunteer Net Pen Project.
State, tribes and federal government have developed a fish and egg health policy that sets standards for all fish production facilities in the state. The policy requires testing of fish and eggs before transferring them to another hatchery or planting them in streams outside their native waters. This policy regulates approximately 40 tribal facilities and more than 100 state and federal hatcheries. It is designed to prevent the spread of diseases among salmon in the state.

| G | 66 | Trap/Collect/Hold/Transport Fish - Hatchery | Fish Trapping, Transfers and Plants | To transport trapped adults for spawning operations and to transport juveniles for rearing and stocking within the Lake Roosevelt Project Area.
The Lake Roosevelt projects combined have three live haul transport tankers which makes it necessary to operate collectively in order to facilitate moving and stocking of fish within the project area. This is necessary to follow the Lake Roosevelt Fisheries Evaluation Program,(LRFEP) and Lake Roosevelt Hatchery Coordination Team, (LRHCT) stocking recommendations and to meet biological objectives. | Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka), Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii), Trout, Rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss) | |

| I | 64 | Spawn Fish | Spawn Returning Kokanee Salmon and Trapped Redband Rainbow Trout | Spawning operations at the Sherman Creek Hatchery will follow WDFW current broodstock collection and Fish Health spawning guidelines and policies. This is to ensure genetic diversity and to prevent the spread of any known pathogens. While initial kokanee egg take goals have changed through adaptive management, we will coordinate with the Lake Roosevelt Fisheries Evaluation Program,(LRFEP) and Lake Roosevelt Hatchery Coordination Team,(LRHCT) on kokanee, wild redband rainbow and wild white sturgeon adults available for spawning. Egg takes depending on lot size will be handled in the following manner, small egg takes will remain at the Colville Trout Hatchery (WDFW) for incubation while large egg takes will be shipped to the Spokane Tribal Hatchery for incubation and early rearing. They will be spawned and shipped under current WDFW fish culture guidelines which include density, and fish health specifications found in part in US Fish & Wildlife Service, Fish Hatchery Management Manual, Piper, R.G., 1982.

| J | 64 | Spawn Fish | Alternate Brood Stocks Identified / Imported. | Facilitate the importation of native kokanee stocks into the project area. Alternate brood sources such as Kootenay Lake stock kokanee are being used to evaluate and improve returns, safe guard native stocks and to increase kokanee populations throughout the reservoir. To date, Sherman Creek Hatchery has imported native Kootenay Lake kokanee eggs, from 300,000 in 1998 to 3,100,000 in 2005 for use on the Lake Roosevelt Project. The current native stock egg request is 5,000,000 Meadow Creek kokanee as specified in the Lake Roosevelt Fisheries Evaluation Plan Recommendations and the Lake Roosevelt Guiding Document.
