the lake will be opened to pike spearing through the ice. The bass club placed 

 stumps for bass habitat enhancement. 



4. Middle Thompson Lake 



Changes the same as Lower Thompson. In addition, the kokanee stocking 

 evaluation didn't turn up any hatchery salmon in Middle Thompson so salmon 

 snagging was eliminated to protect the wild salmon spawners. The bass club 

 placed some stumps in Middle Thompson for habitat enhancement. 



5. Upper Thompson Lake 



Pike spearing through the ice was added in 1998. Good fishing for larger perch 

 has appeared in both Middle and Upper Thompson the last few years. 



6. Rainbow Lake 



Long-term public access remains as an issue. 



7. Crystal and Lavon Lakes 



The salmon fishing appears to be back on track after the planting program was 

 stabilized although the salmon are small this winter for some reason. We're 

 taking a look at rainbow stocking rates and at long-term access since Happy's Iim 

 is up for sale. 



8. Bootjack Lake 



Bootjack was chemically rehabbed in 1997 and replanted with rainbow and 

 westslope cutthroat. It is providing excellent fishing. 



9. Topless Lake 



Topless was rehabbed in 1998 and replanted with rainbow and westslope 

 cutthroat. Look for it to come on this summer. 



10. Cibid Lake 



Cibid was rehabbed in 1997 and replanted with westslope cutthroat and rainbows. 



1 1 . Horseshoe Lake 



The Environmental Assessment on introducing tiger muskies is about half done 

 but keeps getting stalled with higher priorities such as bull trout work.
