Fish and Wildlife Project Summary

Project 198502300

DETERMINE FISH HABITAT LOSSES- SOUTH FORK FLATHEAD


Location: FLATHEAD SUBBASIN basin, including sites listed below.
FLATHEAD RIVER, MIDDLE FORK, FLATHEAD RIVER, NORTH FORK, FLATHEAD RIVER, SOUTH FORK, HUNGRY HORSE DAM, HUNGRY HORSE RESERVOIR, SPOTTED BEAR RIVER, SULLIVAN CREEK (FLATHEAD), WOUNDED BUCK CREEK.

Summary Description: Determination of levels of fish production needed to mitigate for losses associated with construction of Hungry Horse Dam.

Background: The Hungry Horse Reservoir flooded over 35 miles of the South Fork Flathead River and the lower reaches of about 50 tributary streams.

Milestones: During FY 1985, this study determined levels of production needed to mitigate and supplement resident fish populations diminished by habitat losses associated with construction of Hungry Horse Dam.

Results: Resident fish mitigation levels required.
