This grant is for the purpose of suppressing non-native brook trout in High Lake, Upper Malheur River, utilizing methods like gill-netting, angling, and electroshocking. Supported by the Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Reclamation, it also involves monitoring removal efforts. The initiative aims to enhance the Tribe’s ability to manage and protect their water and fish and wildlife resources. Additionally, the Bureau of Reclamation and the public will gain valuable insights into reducing invasive fish species, crucial for safeguarding federally threatened bull trout from this serious threat, thereby restoring ecological balance.

| Description: | Experimental brook trout suppression plans include several sequential and/or simultaneous objectives (gill-netting, angling, and electro shocking) that will be completed with funding assistance from Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Reclamation. In addition under another Reclamation agreement , biologists study to monitor relative abundance of brook trout as a result of removal efforts. Removal of the non-native brook trout and the ensuing monitoring study will increase opportunities for the Tribe to better manage and protect their water and fish and wildlife resources. Reclamation and the public benefit from this project by gaining knowledge of reducing a non-native fish which poses a serious threat to federally threatened bull trout. |
