MANAGEMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR AQUATIC RESOURCES MANAGED <br />FOR SPORTFISHING RECREATION <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Intensive Management Waters - Akron city Lake and Jackson <br />Reservoir <br /> <br />l <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Maintain a catch rate of 0.9 fish per day, and 3.6 <br />fish per day per angler (status quo). <br />utilize catchable plants at appropriate times to <br />enhance fishing opportunity. <br />In small waters <100 acres, utilize catchable <br />rainbow trout as late in fall as possible to <br />promote ice fishing opportunity, and increase <br />angler days of recreation. <br />In waters >500 acres, utilize catchable rainbow <br />trout to provide additional opportunity, increase <br />recreation days, and provide interim fishery while <br />warmwater fish species complement develops. <br />Regulate harvest of warmwater species with reduced <br />bag, and/or minimum length limits to improve <br />quality of sportfishery. <br />Conduct periodic fisherman creel census to monitor <br />catch and harvest characteristics of selected <br />fisheries. <br />Conduct fish population sampling to monitor fish <br />population age, growth, and abundance dynamics. <br />utilize data analysis from f. and g. to guide fish <br />stocking recommendations. <br /> <br />I <br />~ <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />8. <br /> <br />Optimum Management Waters - Boyd ponds, Chartiers ponds, <br />Cottonwood ponds, DePorter Lake, Fort Morgan ponds, <br />Wacker ponds, Haxtun city Lake, Holtorf Lakes, Holyoke <br />city Lake, Jumbo Annex Reservoir, Kiwanis Kids pond, <br />pronger pond, Tamarack Ranch pond, North Sterling <br />Reservoir, Julesburg Reservoir and Prewitt Reservoir. <br /> <br />1. Maintain a fisherman catch rate of 0.3 fish per <br />day, and 1.4 fish per day per angler (status quo). <br />2. utilize limited plants of catchable rainbow trout <br />for exhibitions, and to promote increased angler <br />recreation days and catch for ice fishing. <br />3. utilize a multiple species diversity of warmwater <br />fish species to stock in large plains reservoirs <br />based on: habitat, spawning potential, angler <br />preference, availability, growth potential, and <br />forage preference and availability. <br />4. Regulate harvest of selected fish species through <br />bag reductions, and minimum length limits to <br />improve the quality of the fishery. <br /> <br />12 <br />
