2014 Lake Chelan Tributary Estimates of Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout Abundance, WDFW Sample Clauses

2014 Lake Chelan Tributary Estimates of Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout Abundance, WDFW. In August, September and October of 2013, WDFW successfully sampled Pyramid, Cascade, Big and Four Mile creeks (Tables 5 and 6). Information on adfluvial westslope cutthroat and rainbow trout population abundance, age class composition and other biological characteristics was collected. Our attempt to sample Railroad creek was unsuccessful due to high and deep-water flows. In 2013, fin clips or entire fish of 13 young of the year and 21 yearlings of unknown origin were taken for genetic examination to provide some understanding of the present degree of hybridization between rainbow and westslope cutthroat trout. Genetics results are currently not available. To be conservative unknowns were treated as rainbow during population estimates. In August, September and October of 2014, WDFW successfully sampled First, Safety Harbor, Twenty-Five Mile, Grade and Xxxxxxxx xxxxxx (Tables 5 and 7). Information on adfluvial westslope cutthroat and rainbow trout population abundance, age class composition and other biological characteristics was collected. Three attempts were made to sample Railroad Creek using electrofishing techniques consistent with methods used on other tributaries. Unfortunately, all attempts were unsuccessful due to high and deep- water flows. However, some limited data was able to be obtained via hook and line as well as random electrofishing. Electrofishing techniques used in 2014 were similar to those described in Brown (1984). All trout were identified as rainbow, cutthroat or unknown. Also two trout were identified as obvious rainbow/cutthroat hybrids; one from Xxxxxxxx Creek (185mm) and one from Grade Creek (160mm). These fish are in addition and not included in population estimated in Table 6 and 8. The scarcity of hybrids sampled precluded any meaningful estimate of hybrid population size. Perhaps results from future genetic examination will provide sufficient numbers to accomplish an estimate of hybrids. Genetic results are currently not available. To be conservative unknowns were treated as rainbow during population estimates. In 2014, fifty-five young of the year of unknown origin were taken for genetic examination to provide some understanding of the current degree of hybridization between rainbow and westslope cutthroat trout.
