  • Yellowstone National Park Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping
    Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Yellowstone National Park This document summarizes the results of a geologic resource evaluation scoping session that was held at Yellowstone National Park on May 16–17, 2005. The NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD) organized this scoping session in order to view and discuss the park’s geologic resources, address the status of geologic maps and digitizing, and assess resource management issues and needs. In addition to GRD staff, participants included park staff and cooperators from the U.S. Geological Survey and Colorado State University (table 1). Table 1.

  • 2004 Bark Beetles
    BARK BEETLE CONDITIONS NORTHERN REGION 2004 Ken Gibson USDA Forest Service Northern Region Forest Health Protection Missoula Field Office December 2004 BARK BEETLE CONDITIONS Northern Region 2004 REGIONAL SUMMARY Although late fall has turned out to be atypically dry, most of the Region received above normal amounts of precipitation during calendar year 2004. Most of Montana, and especially the eastern portions, have not completely broken out of the 4- to 5-year drought; however, growing conditions for most bark beetle hosts improved markedly throughout the Region. Despite improved conditions, long-term drought affects are not easily overcome. Too, many bark beetle species are at extremely high levels and will not respond to improved host conditions for a year or so. Those latter two factors combined to result in an increase in infested area by most bark beetle species across the Region. Unfortunately, less-than-optimal weather conditions late in the season prevented aerial survey of all beetle-infested areas. Approximately 85% of the forested portions of the 24 reporting areas were flown. While some areas appeared to be less impacted, for most of the Region, and particularly Montana; both aerial and ground-collected data showed still- increasing bark beetle infestations for most species. Mountain pine beetle-infested areas increased in many locations surveyed; however, in some locations, intensity of beetle-caused mortality is declining due to host depletion. Decreases in infested area recorded on the Lolo National Forest (NF), however, is a reflection of the amount of area flown—not necessarily an indication that the outbreak, overall, is waning. In total, considerably more infested acres were recorded in 2004 than in 2003; despite some heavily infested areas having not been flown.

  • Mountain Lakes Guide: Absaroka, Beartooth & Crazies
    2021 MOUNTAIN LAKES GUIDE Silver Lake ABSAROKA - BEARTOOTH & CRAZY MOUNTAINS Fellow Angler: This booklet is intended to pass on information collected over many years about the fishery of the Absaroka-Beartooth high country lakes. Since Pat Marcuson began surveying these lakes in 1967, many individuals have hefted a heavy pack and worked the high country for Fish, Wildlife and Parks. They have brought back the raw data and personal observations necessary to formulate management schemes for the 300+ lakes in this area containing fish. While the information presented here is not intended as a guide for hiking/camping or fishing techniques, it should help wilderness users to better plan their trips according to individual preferences and abilities. Fish species present in the Absaroka-Beartooth lakes include Yellowstone cutthroat trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, golden trout, arctic grayling, and variations of cutthroat/rainbow/golden trout hybrids. These lake fisheries generally fall into two categories: self-sustaining and stocked. Self-sustaining lakes have enough spawning habitat to allow fish to restock themselves year after year. These often contain so many fish that while fishing can be fast, the average fish size will be small. The average size and number of fish present change very little from year to year in most of these lakes. Lakes without spawning potential must be planted regularly to sustain a fishery. Standard stocking in the Beartooths is 50-100 Yellowstone cutthroat trout fingerlings per acre every eight years. Special situations may call for different species, numbers, or frequency of plants. For instance, lakes with heavy fishing pressure tend to be stocked more often and at higher densities.
