Managpmpnt Concerns: 



1. As with all the lakes in the TCL, unauthorized introductions are a concern. 



Preferred Manaf«>in«>nt Option: 



Managemait options considered included maintaining current management and stocking, consider 

 managemait for a trc^hy trout, or switch to westslope cutthroat management. Cad Lake received 

 48 comments. 



Under the preferred management option, current management for rainbow trout would be 

 continued with the possible addition of cutthroat or brook trout. Fishing regulations to produce 

 larger trout will be considered.
