Description

Abstract: The wild fish policy and fish management policy of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife {ODFW) directs that fish management plans will be written for all waters of the state. The Oregon Trout Plan and Warmwater Fish Management Plan, give the direction for trout and warmwater management in basin plans as well as in plans for individual rivers and standing water bodies. Hyatt Lake is a 957 acre irrigation impoundment located 21 miles East of Ashland on the Cascade divide at an elevation of 5,016 feet. The reservoir was built in 1923 to store 16,900 acre-feet of water for irrigation use in the Medford area by the Talent Irrigation District (TID). Early in 1989, a Hyatt Lake Management Advisory Committee was created. Included were landowners, agency personnel, sportsmen's club members, legislators and other interested individuals. The group agreed that the lake should again be chemically treated to eliminate bullheads in order to pursue trout, warmwater fishes, or a combination of warmwater and trout. No management direction other than brown bullheads appeared feasible to the committee in the absence of treatment.
