This grant from CESU Colorado State University supports a crucial study focused on revitalizing the historically significant kokanee salmon fishery within Blue Mesa Reservoir. Renowned for its abundant kokanee and record-setting lake trout, the reservoir has seen a concerning decline in its kokanee population since the mid-1990s. This initiative specifically aims to understand the impact of brown trout and lake trout predation on kokanee. The research will provide essential insights and data, enabling fishery managers to identify and implement effective strategies for restoration. The successful revitalization of this fishery will directly benefit recreational anglers and significantly bolster the local economy dependent on this valuable natural resource.
