3. Because of proximity of small and large lakes, FWP cannot oisure that undesirable species 

 won't be replanted in Topless Lake if it is chemically rehabilitated. 



Preferred M aimyMnPnt Optinn; 



Management options considoed included maintaining the current stocking rates and management, 

 chemical rehab, or converting to a warm water fishery (bass, pike) to provide a different fishery 

 and for biological control of pumpkinseeds and bullheads. Topless Lake received 48 comments. 



Under the preferred management option, Tc^less Lake would be rehabilitated as funding becomes 

 available (preferably at the same time as Bootjack Lake) and rainbow and either cutthroat trout 

 or brook trout would be reintroduced at historic levels. Through monitoring and ads^tive 

 management, the fishery would be assessed and adjusted as necessary.
