Drought Impacts to Bull Trout in the Yakima Basin – 2001 (2005?) John Easterbrooks, Region 3 Fish Program Manager

“Adfluvial” (lake dwelling, stream spawning) bull trout populations in three Yakima Basin irrigation storage reservoirs (Keechelus, Kachess, and Rimrock) were affected by the severe drought of Similar conditions are anticipated in Blocked upstream passage into spawning tributaries in late summer as the reservoirs are drained is the primary impact. Lower stream flows in 2005 may cause passage problems to occur earlier in the summer, depending on the rate of reservoir drawdown. Corrective actions were implemented at Kachess and Rimrock reservoirs in 2001 to improve passage conditions for mature adults to prevent loss of a year class of juvenile production.

South Fork Tieton R. – Rimrock Reservoir Barrier waterfall develops when reservoir storage content drops below 127,000 acre- feet. USBR attempts to operate reservoir to stay above that level through Aug. 12 to provide bull trout passage. Late in the season, the falls and shallow, multiple channels across the lake bed presents a hazard to post-spawn adults returning to the lake.
