B190Remove, Exclude and/or Relocate AnimalsLake Trout Removal - IDFG Lake Trout Suppression in Upper Priest LakeThe Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) has been suppressing Lake Trout (LKT) in Upper Priest Lake (UPL) through extensive gill netting since 1997. A larger effort has been annually implemented since 2007, with more than 30,000 LKT removed from through 2018. This work element provides cost-share funding for an IDFG project that allows them to continue with LKT suppression in UPL. The objective is to continue to reduce LKT predation and competition with native Bull Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout in UPL by removing LKT. This will assist Bull Trout recovery and long term persistence of Westslope Cutthroat Trout and other native fish populations in the area.The Kalispel Tribe will provide a portion of the project directly to the Hickey Brothers Research LLC, the consultant contracted to implement the project in May 2019. Data from the 2019 effort will be summarized and compared to previous years’ efforts to monitor the effectiveness and success of the project. A report or progress summary will be provided by IDFG and included in the May 2019-April 2020 Annual Report for the Kalispel Tribe BPA Non-Native Fish Suppression Project (2007-149-00).AECEnvironmental compliance requirements complete05/01/201905/01/2019ConcludedCarlos Matthew01/24/2019 9:44 AM

C190Remove, Exclude and/or Relocate AnimalsMechanically Suppress Northern Pike in the Pend Oreille River, WANorthern Pike suppression has occurred in Washington's Pend Oreille River (Box Canyon Reservoir) annually for 7 years (2012-2018) with >17,000 NP removed in >4,800 overnight gillnet sets. Based on 2018 Spring Pike Index Netting (SPIN) results in Box Canyon, the adult population in the core area (southern half and sloughs) was reduced (<0.5 NP/net) by >90% as compared to the pre-suppression levels (2011). In the first year of monitoring the downstream Boundary Reservoir, the CPUE for sloughs was 5.44 NP/net night and 1.58 NP/net night in river sets, indicating suppression efforts need to expand downstream to the upper section of this reservoir. Since 2018, a total of 389 NP were removed from Boundary Reservoir in 366 overnight gillnet sets. The 2018 SPIN Survey results of 0.0 NP/net night (river) and 0.56 NP/net night (sloughs) indicated the population had been reduced significantly from 2016, but still remained above the relative abundance target for the reservoir of <0.5 NP/net night. Suppression will continue in 2019 for both reservoirs. Based on the 2019 Northern Pike suppression (March-April) and SPIN Survey (May) results for Box and Boundary reservoirs, the necessity and level of suppression will be developed for 2020. Staff from the Tribe and WDFW will meet in summer-fall of 2019 and use all available data and information to determine if and to what extent 2020 suppression is required.AECEnvironmental compliance requirements complete05/01/201905/01/2019ConcludedCarlos Matthew01/24/2019 9:51 AM

D190Remove, Exclude and/or Relocate AnimalsSaucon Creek Eastern Brook Trout RemovalsTo reduce negative impacts on the native Westslope Cutthroat Trout (WCT) population, non-native Eastern Brook Trout (EBT) will be mechanically removed from Saucon Creek. Saucon Creek is a tributary to Upper West Branch LeClerc Creek, which is a tributary to the Pend Oreille River in Washington State. Mechanical suppression (backpack electrofishing) has been implemented annually from 2014-2018, during which >3,100 EBT were captured and removed, with the total number of EBT decreasing and WCT increasing. The removal effort is focused only in the 2.1 Km section where sympatric populations of WCT and EBT exist; allopatric WCT occupy the remaining upstream habitat. In 2019, we will conduct one full EBT removal treatment. Any EBT encountered will be removed from the stream and WCT will be returned no more than 100m from capture location. This project and its techniques are consistent with other successful programs/projects implemented in Pend Oreille River tributaries and this project.AECEnvironmental compliance requirements complete05/01/201905/01/2019ConcludedCarlos Matthew01/24/2019 9:58 AM
