Management Concerns; 



1. Because of their connection to the Fisher River and Kootenai River drainages, any species 

 planted either authorized or unauthorized, is a potential problem for downstream concerns. 



2. Increasing numbers of nongame fish (squawfish, pumpkinseeds) may make maintaining 

 gamefish difficult. 



3. The flow-through nature of the system makes it nearly impossible to rotenone the lakes to 

 adequately kill all target fish. 



4. A high percoitage of warmwater fish (bass, perch) contain parasites in their flesh and this 

 makes them undesirable to many anglers.
