In addition to the brown trout, brook and cutthroat trout are also present and reproduce in the Florida River above the reservoir. The brook trout spawn during the fall months and the cutthroat spawn in the spring. The ~okanee salmon, a land-locked sockeye salmon, thrive in Lemon Reservoir and can withstand lake level fluctuations because their primary food source, the zooplankton, are least prone to the detrimental impacts from fluctuations. The kokanee have a four- year life cycle. They move upstream into the Florida River during October, November, and December, spawn and die. The CDOW volun- tarily stocks the Florida River with 100,000 two-inch fry- fingerlings of kokanee salmon each year. The production costs for the two-inch fish (kokanee or trout) are 12.89jfish or $128/1,000 fish or $12,800 (for 100,000 fish stocked annually). For the five-inch trout, the costs are 33.59 per fish or $335/1,000 fish or $16,750 for 50,000 fish. Over a four year period, replenishing of the kokanee stock would amount to $51,200. The four year period is critical to the kokanee salmon because (1) that is the amount of time it takes for kokanee to mature and spawn and (2) impacts to the fishery from historic low reservoir levels have resulted in a loss of four-year classes of kokanee salmon. The CDOW estimates that it would take two years to replenish the rainbow trout following historic low reservoir levels. This would amount to $33,500. Prior to the construction of the Florida Project (1963), the Florida River fi shery (13.5 miles from the upper end of Lemon Reservoir to the head of the Florida Farmers Ditch) was valued at $50,000 annually, according to page 53 of the Florida Project, Definite Plan Report (DPR, 1959) which states "but is limited by fluctuating flows which vary from more than 700 cfs during the 5.0-4
