inadequate to support the level of harvest experienced during the study <br />period. The proposed fishery management plan, however, will greatly <br />reduce sportfishery harvest and thus, the level of recruitment required <br />to support the fishery. The contribution of instream recruitment should, <br />therefore, be assessed. Stocking rates should also be reassessed for the <br />same reasons. <br />Emergent salmonid fry are particularly susceptible to stage <br />fluctuation and hydroelectric ramp rates (rate of change of flow). Any <br />change in hydroelectric operations should, therefore, be considered in <br />light of how success of instream recruitment might be affected. <br />-8-
