Description

Abstract: Summary: We radio-tagged 34 adult westslope cutthroat trout in Rail Creek and Roberts Creek in the mainstem John Day River subbasin. These fish were located weekly by telemetry, as were those with active transmitters applied in 2000, to determine seasonal movements. Habitat measurements were collected at each re-location of each radio-tagged fish to determine their seasonal habitat preferences. We collected tissue samples from westslope cutthroat trout and rainbow trout in two streams for genetic description of the populations, and to determine the extent of hybridization between the two species. We helped survey Davis Creek, tributary to the Middle Fork John Day River, to determine whether bull trout were present
