In general the approved plan continues past and present management practices. Following are the 

 major changes that will be pursued under this plan: 



Chemical Rehabilitation 



Bootjack, Topless, and Lost lakes will be chemically rehabilitated as funding is available. Little 

 McGregor, Cibid, and Leon lakes will be considered for rehabilitation if changes in stocking 

 cannot overcome rough fish populations. 



Habitat Enhancement 



Artificial habitat enhancement for bass will be pursued on the three Thompson lakes and Loon and 

 Little Loon lakes. 



Brook Trout 



Stocking ratios in Little McGregor Lake will be shifted to favor brook trout over rainbow trout. 

 An environmoital analysis will be conducted to consider adding small numbers of brook trout to 

 some of the small closed-basin lakes now managed for rainbow trout. 



WestslQpe Cutthroat Trout 



MyrcMi Lake will be managed for westslope cutthroat trout. Small numbers of westslope cutthroat 

 trout will be added to some of the small lakes now managed solely for rainbow trout. 



Large Trout 



In the 2000-2001 fishing regulation setting process, FWP will propose regulations to produce an 

 opportunity to catch large trout in one of Bootjack, Cad, Cibid lakes, or one of the other small 

 lakes to replace the fishery lost in Notellum Lake. 



Northern Pike 



In the 1998-99 fishing regulation process, FWP will propose spearing for northern pike through 

 the ice in Upper Thompson Lake. 



Largemouth Ba.ss 



In the 1998-99 fishing r^ulation process, FWP will propose restrictive regulations for bass during 

 the spawning season in Loon and Little Loon lakes.
