<br />7 <br /> <br />The fishery of Jackson Lake has been reevaluated as a stable, ;cold- <br />water, high-quality walleye pike and bass fishery. The lake would <br />be so,.ma,naged and in view of the scarcity of and the high demand <br />for this type of a fishery, which would be unique to the Narrows <br />Unit area, fishing would be valued highly on this lake. Intensive <br />management for fish and wildlife would help realize the high fish- <br />ery potential of this lake. Total increased benefits associated <br />with the lake through rehabi litation of Jackson Lake Dam and inclu- <br />sion of the fish production unit would amount to $150,000 annually. <br /> <br />The tai lwater and downstream fishery in the South Platte River has <br />been reevaluated as a coldwater fishery. Increased annual benefits <br />associated with this fishery would amount to $25,500. <br /> <br />Table 2 provides a comparison of the various fish and wi ldlife uses <br />on a project basis, both without and with the project in operation, <br />and shows the source of the benefits. Although the data presented <br />in Table 2 are the same as shown in Table I on page 3 of our 1966 <br />report, the information is presented herein in order to present a <br />complete benefit analysis in this report supplement. Table 2 re- <br />places Table 1 in the synoptic portion of our August 1966 report. <br />
