  • Crystal Springs Master Plan Volume 1
    This page is intentionally blank. Crystal Springs Fish Hatchery and Programs for Snake River Chinook Salmon And Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Master Plan February 15, 2011 Prepared by the Shoshone Bannock Tribes Fort Hall, Idaho This page is intentionally blank. Shoshone ‐ Bannock Tribes EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Shoshone‐Bannock Tribes (the Tribes) submit this Master Plan for the Crystal Springs Hatchery to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council to fulfill Step 1 of the Council’s Step Review requirements for artificial propagation projects involving new construction and/or programs that will produce fish for reintroduction. The Tribes have a long history of managing fish, wildlife and their habitat through a variety of government and Tribal funds; both within and outside the exterior boundaries of the Fort Hall Reservation. It is the obligation of the Tribes’ Fish and Wildlife Department to protect, preserve and enhance fish, wildlife and their habitats in perpetuity for all Tribal members. This is pursued in partnership with a number of state and federal agencies to help achieve mutual resource goals and management objectives. Successfully implementing the proposed Crystal Springs Program will be achieved only by continuing this cooperation with agencies that include the Bonneville Power Administration, US Forest Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and NOAA‐Fisheries. The Crystal Springs program is designed to help restore two native fish species of cultural and economic significance to the Tribes: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) and Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki bouvieri ). Restoration will occur in geographically distinct regions of Idaho. Chinook salmon produced at Crystal Springs Hatchery will be acclimated and released in the Yankee Fork and in Panther Creek, both tributaries to the upper Salmon River.

Annual salmon and steelhead runs in what are now Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nevada provided harvest opportunities throughout the year. The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes continue to harvest anadromous fish under rights reserved by the Fort Bridger Treaty of 1868.
