Assist CPUD with Kokanee Spawning Surveys at Stehekin River Index Sites, NPS. Due to reduced personnel availability at CPUD, the number of kokanee spawning surveys conducted in Stehekin River index sites was reduced from as many as six surveys in 2008 to three in 2013. While three spawning surveys can provide an accurate estimate of kokanee production within the index reaches, it does not provide the precision of historical surveys. In 2014 the NPS will assist CPUD by conducting two kokanee spawning surveys in the Stehekin River index sites in late August to mid-October. One of these surveys may be conducted in conjunction with CPUD to ensure continuity of data. This survey effort will aid in assessing the early and/or late portion of the kokanee run in the Stehekin River and provide a more precise index of kokanee abundance.

Assist CPUD with Kokanee Spawning Surveys at Stehekin River Index Sites, NPS. An annual assessment of spawning kokanee has been conducted on index sites established in Lake Chelan tributaries by the Chelan County PUD since 1983 (Xxxxxxx 2000). Chelan County PUD has asked for assistance from WDFW and the NPS in conducting these surveys in 2016. The NPS is proposing to conduct kokanee surveys on the Blackberry and Company Creek Chelan PUD index sites on five to six occasions as outlined below. Table 333.
