Clinch River
Trout Study Results "The attached graphs show our mean electrofishing catch rates (for the 12 monitoring stations) since 1996. Catch rates went down in 2004 and 2005 because of the high flows in the tailwater, but came back nicely in 2006. In fact, we reached or exceeded our management plan objectives for trout 14" and over (30/hr.) and for trout 18" and over (8/hr.) in '06. We had exceeded the management plan objective for trout 7" and over (200/hr.) in 2003, but the catch rate fell off in '04 and '05. It's on the way back up now (about 170/hr. in '06).” |
