Yuki Reiss Yakima Basin Fish and Wildlife Recovery Board Science and Management Conference June 17-18, 2009

2 Photo by W. Meyer USFWS Timeline Listed in 1999 as “threatened” across range: coterminous listing (Columbia DPS) 2002 Draft Recovery Plan (local team) 2005 Final critical habitat ruling (much weakened from proposed) Five Year Status Review (keep listing, evaluate DPS)

3 USFWS Current Status Proposal to de-list and re-list under DPS (2008)
Federal ruling against critical habitat designation (2009) Resistance from project leaders to de-listing (2009)

4 YBFWRB Involvement Recovery Program Coordinator position
Compiled status info and database Local recovery action plan for immediate use

5 Bull Trout Projects on-tap
NF Tieton trapping/pit tag project Bull Trout Task Force Deep Creek culvert removal? Continued genetics sampling? Gold Creek hydrologic evaluation?

6 NF Tieton Population 2004 snorkel surveys: 6 juveniles, 2-3 adfluvial adults, 1 redd : 30+ redds Genetic connection to Rimrock populations? Passage at Clear Lake Dam?

7 Bull Trout Task Force Americorps Lead (with bio background) and Washington Conservation Crew Creel surveys (esp lakes) Public education/outreach Recreation dam removal Brook trout removal Help with population monitoring and other projects as needed.

8 Population Trend Graph: Upper Yakima

9 Population Trend Graph: Naches

10 Opportunistic surveys
NF Teanaway Upper Bumping River Upper Yakima River (Easton to Keechelus) Upper Cle Elum River

11 Want to help? Report bull trout sightings
