Elk River <br />Recommended management strategies/options: <br />1) Manage existing lakes and streams within Intensive, 5) <br />Optimum, and Special Management categories as <br />designated. <br />2) Manage Lost Dog, Miller, Lester, and Agnes creeks; 6) <br />and Luna Lake for pure Colorado River cutthroat trout <br />populations. 7) <br />3) Manage Hahn's Peak Lake, the lower Elk River, <br />Willow Creek below Steamboat Lake and Steamboat <br />Lake as stocked trout fisheries. 8) <br />4) Change high lakes currently managed with stocked trout <br />which are most likely to result without stocking in <br />native aquatic wildlife communities without fish to <br />Special Management category 320. Only lakes with <br />unsatisfactory or marginal fisheries or those prone to <br />frequent winterkill will be targeted. <br />Assess any of the lakes or streams included in <br />Categories 200 and 221 for potential as Colorado River <br />cutthroat trout habitats. <br />Protect boreal toad habitat within all waters of the <br />North Fork drainage of the Elk River. <br />Continue to inventory alpine amphibian habitats above <br />7,000 ft elevation for boreal toad breeding and nursery <br />sites. <br />Initiate baseline herptile, mollusk and crustacean <br />inventories as agency resources permit. <br />DRAFT - January 13, 1998 14
