 species might occur. 



Preferred Mflnagement Optinni 



Management options considered included the current management and stocking schedule, 

 consideration for large or trophy trout management, increasing trout stocking rates, or switching 

 to westslope cutthroat plants. Myron Lake received 48 comments. 



Under the preferred management option, Myron Lake would be managed as a westslope cutthroat 

 lake. Through monitoring and adaptive management, FWP would adjust stocking rates to 

 maximize catch rates. All activities proposed are provisional on acquiring a permanent access 

 agreement with Plum Creek Timber Company as the lake is entirely within Plum Creek lands.
