Earlier rulemakings had listed distinct population segments of bull trout as threatened in the Columbia River and Klamath River (June 1998; 63 FR 31647, 63 FR 42757), and Jarbidge River basins (November The lexicon for describing bull 1999; 64 FR 17110). trout population units has The USFWS recovery priority number for bull trout in the contiguous evolved.

The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) determines the national status of wild Canadian species, subspecies and separate populations suspected of being at risk. In British Columbia, bull trout are listed as an intermediate priority candidate species (COSEWIC 2003). COSEWIC candidate species are those that are suspected of being in some category State, federal and tribal of risk of extinction or extirpation at the national level, before being examined biologists in Montana have through the status assessment process. The B.C. Conservation Data Centre has done extensive work on bull trout. Results from these efforts, blue-listed bull trout in British Columbia, which means they are a species which have resulted in some of considered to be vulnerable or of special concern because of characteristics that the best and most detailed make them particularly sensitive to human activities or natural events (BC Ministry information available for bull of Sustainable Resource Management 2003). trout in the Montana portion The British Columbia Forest Practices Code includes an “Identified Wildlife of the Kootenai Subbasin, are entered onto the Montana Management Strategy” that lists wildlife, wildlife habitat areas and associated Fisheries Information System landscape units. “Identified Wildlife” lists species considered to be at risk (e.g. (MFISH) database accessible endangered, threatened, vulnerable or sensitive) and that require management of on the internet at: http:// critical habitats in order to maintain populations and/or distributions (BC nris.state.mt.us/scripts/ Ministry of Forest 1997). esrimap.dll?name= MFISH&Cmd=INST. Bull trout are good indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. They have relatively strict habitat requirements. They require high quality, cold water; high levels of shade, undercut banks, and woody debris in streams; abundant gravel in riffles with low levels of fine sediments; stable, complex stream channels; and For various bull trout reports connectivity among and between drainages (USFWS 2002). These requirements from the B.C. Ministry of make them a good indicator of the health of an aquatic environment. Because Water, Land, and Air bull trout use the entire aquatic system in the subbasin, impacts in any single Protection, go to Appendix 113. component can potentially affect bull trout. Because of this and their status, we have selected bull trout as a focal species in this assessment. 1 Summary of population and current distribution data In the final ESA listing rule for bull trout, five subpopulations were recognized within the Kootenai River Subbasin (USFWS 1998). These included three portions of the mainstem system: (1) Upper—upstream from Libby Dam, (2) Middle— from Libby Dam downstream to Kootenai Falls, and (3) Lower— downstream 1 As mentioned previously, metapopulations are composed of one or more local populations. As in the Bull Trout Recovery Plan, in this assessment bull trout have been grouped into distinct population segments, recovery units, core areas and local populations. Core areas are composed of one or more local populations, recovery units are composed of one or more core areas, and a distinct population segment is composed of one or more recovery units. 204 FOCAL SPECIES: BULL TROUT from Kootenai Falls through Idaho to the United States/Canada border. The two disconnected subpopulations (referred to as disjunct by the Montana Bull Trout Scientific Group), in Bull Lake (MBTSG 1996b) and Sophie Lake (MBTSG 1996c), were considered separate subpopulations. At the time of listing, all Kootenai River bull trout subpopulations were considered to have unknown status and population trend, and the Sophie Lake subpopulation was considered to be at risk of stochastic For a map showing current bull trout distribution and extirpation due to its single spawning stream and small population size. restoration and core habitat In its Bull Trout Draft Recovery Plan, the USFWS identified 27 recovery areas within the Montana units based on large river basins and generally following existing boundaries of portion of the Kootenai, go to conservation units for other fish species described in state plans, where possible. Appendix 52. The Kootenai River Recovery Unit forms part of the range of the Columbia River population segment. The Kootenai River Recovery Unit includes 4 core areas (figure 4.1) and about 10 currently identified local populations. In recent years, emphasis for the Kootenai River Subbasin has been placed USFS bull trout distribution maps for the Kootenai 2, 3 on determining abundance through redd counts . Table 4.1 summarizes the Subbasin portion of the Idaho status of redd count information from 1996 to 2000 for the four core areas in the Panhandle and Kootenai Kootenai River recovery unit. Redd counts represent an unknown but substantial National Forests are included portion of the possible spawning population. Three of the four core areas have an in Appendix 1. established history of redd count trend information for migratory fish. Eight streams in the United States and three in Canada are now being monitored, with index redd counts conducted on an annual basis. Table 4.2 summarizes this information. In addition, six bull trout redds were counted in Goat Creek (a tributary of Callahan Creek, Montana) in 2003, the first year this stream was surveyed (A. Rief, USFS, unpublished data). Information for the Idaho portion of the subbasin is presented in tables 4.3 and 4.4. Redd counts have traditionally been conducted only for migratory fish. In some drainages, there are likely to be additional resident bull trout spawners whose redds are smaller than those of migratory fish, therefore difficult to identify in streams where brook trout exist. They have not been included in these totals. On the Wigwam River, five permanent monitoring sites were established in 2000 to evaluate juvenile abundance (Cope and Morris 2001). Juvenile abundance has also been monitored at three sites on Skookumchuck Creek for two years (Cope 2003 and Cope 2004 in prep), two sites on the White River, and at 2 The Bull Trout Draft Recovery Plan states: Because of the large size of the migratory fish and the geology of the streams (which generally makes the redds easy to recognize), redd counts (Spalding 1997) have been shown to provide a repeatable method of indexing spawner escapement in many streams in this recovery unit (Rieman and McIntyre 1996). However, several authors have cautioned that redd counts should not be relied upon as the sole method of population monitoring (Rieman and Myers 1997, Maxell 1999) and may, in fact, lead to erroneous conclusions about population status and trend. 3 Adapted from the Bull Trout Draft Recovery Plan (2003). 205 FOCAL SPECIES: BULL TROUT For bull trout information in the Kootenai Subbasin in British Columbia, go to: http:/ /srmwww.gov.bc.ca/aib/ For an electronic library of aquatic information (including reports pertaining to bull trout) for the B.C.

Cramer and Associates. 77 pp. plus appendices. Conservation strategies delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to protect, rehabilitate, and maintain species and populations that have been recognized as imperiled, but not federally listed as threatened or endangered under the US Endangered Species Act. This Strategy resulted from cooperative efforts of U.S. and Canadian Federal, Provincial, and State agencies, Native American Tribes, First Nations, local Elected Officials, Congressional and Governor’s staff, and other important resource stakeholders, including members of the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative. This Conservation Strategy does not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or approval of all individuals or agencies involved with its formulation. This Conservation Strategy is subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of conservation tasks. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho would like to thank the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative (KVRI) and the KVRI Burbot Committee for their contributions to this Burbot Conservation Strategy. The Tribe also thanks the Boundary County Historical Society and the residents of Boundary County for providing local historical information provided in Appendix 2. The Tribe also thanks Ray Beamesderfer and Paul Anders of S.P. Cramer and Associates for their assistance in preparing this document. Funding was provided by the Bonneville Power Administration through the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s Fish and Wildlife Program, and by the Idaho Congressional Delegation through a congressional appropriation administered to the Kootenai Tribe by the Department of Interior.
