Construction of Clearwater River 

 Fish Barrier 



Late in 1953 a fish barrier (low dam creating 

 a falls) was constructed across the Clearwater 

 River between Alva and Inez Lakes. This is the 

 second such barrier to be built on the Clear- 

 water — one was built just below the outlet of 

 Rainy Lake in 1957. These barriers will permit 

 progressive chemical treatment from the head- 

 waters downstream to eliminate non-game fish 

 without danger of reinvasion by non-game 

 fish from below. The small fish management 

 units created by the barriers can be thoroughly 

 treated with chemicals and managed indi- 

 vidually. 



Missouri River Fish Population Study 



Various agencies of the federal govern- 

 ment have made recommendations for develop- 

 ment of the Missouri River from Fort Benton 

 downstream to Fort Peck Reservoir. Recom- 

 mendations range from complete impoundment 

 with a series of dams to preservation of this 

 reach of river as a National Wilderness Water- 

 way. 



None of the reports by these agencies con- 

 tain factual information on the fisheries re- 

 source or the probable effects the various de- 

 velopments will have on this resource.
