fisheries status and emphasis will become similar to other streams with comparable recreational 

 value. 



It is unknown how hybridized populations will be viewed under the Endangered Species Act, if 

 WCT becomes listed. Management direction defined by the WCT Conservation Plan or the 

 Endangered Species Act has implications for Robb and Rock Creeks on the WMA. 



NON GAME/PREDATORS/FURBEARERS 



At present, there is no formal inventory of nongame, predators or furbearers for the WMA. 

 Dennis Flath, statewide non-game coordinator, conducted an inventory of ferruginous hawks and 

 prairie falcons beginning in the late 1970's and continued periodically since that time. The most 

 recent information indicates that there are an estimated 5-10 pairs of ferruginous hawks and a 

 few pairs of prairie falcons that occupy the WMA. Beaver are found in the major drainages.
