<br />-21- <br />~ stocking of hatchery fish since natural reproduction will not maintain <br />them. Because of the planned drawdowns, the management programs will <br />be based on residual pool slightly above the absolute minimum in each <br />~ impoundment. <br />Pot Hook Reservoir can be managed to provide a better fishery than <br />~ Savery because the Pot Hook site only permits a drawdown of 43 percent <br />of capacity. The remaining 57 percent will serve as the water resource <br />base for the fish management program. It will vary from a maximum <br />~ of 1,037 surface acres (60,000 acre-feet) at full pool, to 765 surface <br />acres (34,000 acre-feet) at minimum pool. The maximum vertical <br />fluctuation will be 28 feet. <br /> <br />It is estimated that the Pot Hook Reservoir fishery will support an <br />annual average of 5,000 angler-days. Value per angler-day is $3.00. <br />~ The annual cost to provide this fishery--for fingerling stocking, <br />routine management, access maintenance, and trash pickup--is estimated <br />at $10,000. This cost should be met by CRSP--Section 8 funds. <br /> <br />Savery Reservoir, however, will be quite different. Its maximum <br />vertical fluctuation will be 42 feet--a potential annual drawdown <br />~ of 91 percent of storage capacity. The reservoir will vary from <br />646 surface acres impounding 19,000 acre-feet of water at full pool, <br />to 19'5 surface acres and only 1,500 acre-feet of storage at full <br /> <br />
