1 LAKE TANEYCOMO ANGLER CREEL SURVEY SUMMARY Shane Bush Fisheries Management Biologist Missouri Department of Conservation Southwest Region February 1, 2013
2 Introduction Lake Taneycomo was formed by the construction of Powersite Dam (Ozark Beach Dam) in 1913 and is Missouri's oldest hydroelectric reservoir. The lake is riverine in nature, 22 miles in length and encompasses 2,080 surface acres. Prior to 1958, Lake Taneycomo supported one of Missouri's best warm-water fisheries. This changed in 1958 when Table Rock Dam, located in the headwater of Lake Taneycomo, began discharging cold hypolimnetic water into Lake Taneycomo. The discharge of cold water changed Lake Taneycomo into a cold-water environment, providing good conditions for trout. Rainbow trout were first stocked into Lake Taneycomo in Brown trout were first stocked in Since that time more than 30 million rainbow and brown trout have been stocked. Lake Taneycomo is Missouri's largest and most popular trout fishery. The Lake Taneycomo creel survey was conducted from February 1, 2008 to January 31, The objectives of the creel were to: 1. Evaluate current fishing regulations and stocking regimes. 2. Augment long term trend information. 3. Assess fish populations in areas of the lake that are not regularly sampled. 4. Evaluate other fish population assessment techniques and results. 5. Determine the effect of water quality conditions on angler use and fishing success. 6. Interact with anglers to assess angler use, attitudes and opinions and to foster partner relationships with anglers. Methods The Lake Taneycomo creel survey for 2008 and 2009 was conducted using a roving creel methodology. To account for suspected differences in aquatic habitat and angling techniques, Lake Taneycomo was divided into three survey zones, with estimates of angling effort, success and preferences conducted independently for each zone. Zone 1 was from the no fishing cable 760 feet below Table Rock Dam downstream to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) boat ramp near Shepherd of the Hills Hatchery (approximately one mile or 36 acres). Zone 2 included the next seven miles to the Highway 65 bridge (295 acres). Zone 2 was further subdivided into two smaller zones, one upstream of Fall Creek and one downstream of Fall Creek, in order to evaluate the effects of the special fishing regulation zone implemented in Zone 5 included the next 14 miles downstream to Powersite Dam (1,567 acres) (Figure 1). Zone 5 was further subdivided into two smaller zones, which were zones 5a and 5b for sampling purposes. Due to an insufficient number of samples and bias made when selecting Zone 5a or Zone 5b, these zones were not separated in this analysis. For data comparisons in this report, Zone 5 is the same area represented as zones 3 and 4 combined in past angler surveys. Zone 1 is entirely within the special fishing regulation zone upstream of Fall Creek. The special fishing regulation zone includes a 12 to 20-inch protected length limit, or slot, on rainbow trout and an "artificial lures" only restriction in the upper three miles of the lake. Zone 1 includes the most upstream reach of Lake Taneycomo, in an area of aquatic habitat greatly influenced by the operation of Table Rock Dam. During power generation periods, this reach contains deep, swift-moving water. Under these conditions fishing is restricted to shoreline areas and drifting in boats. During nongeneration periods, the entire area becomes a series of shallow, slow-moving pools interspersed with a few short, shallow riffles. Boating is difficult under these conditions and nearly all anglers either 1
3 wade or fish from the bank. Due to navigation hazards presented by swiftly-flowing water during power generation periods and insufficient water depth during non-generation periods, survey clerks conducted the angler survey in Zone 1 from the shore or by wading. Zone 2 contains deeper water and most fishing is done from boats. The first mile of this zone contains areas shallow enough for wade fishing during non-generation periods, but the remainder of the zone is fished by anglers on the bank, docks or in boats. Zone 2 includes the downstream boundary of both the special fishing regulation area at the mouth of Fall Creek and the downstream boundary of the electrofishing sampling area at the mouth of Short Creek. The upper two miles of Zone 2 are within the special fishing regulation zone while the remainder is located entirely below the special fishing regulation zone. These two subzones are herein referred to as Zone 2:1 and Zone 2:2, respectively. Zone 5 is comprised of mostly deep water with little opportunity for wade fishing. Nearly all fishing in this zone is from the bank, docks or from boats and this zone is outside the special fishing regulation area and the electrofishing sampling area. Because most fishing in zones 2 and 5 is from bank or boat anglers, all interviews were conducted by survey clerks moving through the area in a boat. Twenty survey periods were conducted each month including 10 weekend samples and 10 weekday samples. Sampling days were randomly selected. Four weekend and four weekday samples were conducted each month in Zone 1 and three weekend and three weekday samples for each of the remaining zones. Survey periods were randomly assigned to either morning or afternoon/evening time periods. For the three selected periods assigned to Zone 5, the clerk was randomly assigned to either Zone 5a or 5b, but no sub-zone could be assigned to all three selected periods within a stratum. A further restriction was applied for days when zones 2 and 5 were selected. Only 1 boat was available for conducting the Lake Taneycomo creel survey, so if either of these zones was selected, the other zone (Zone 2 or Zone 5) could not be worked. However, Zone 1 could be worked during the same sampling period as either Zone 2 or Zone 5 within the selected day. Two instantaneous angler and boat counts were made during each selected sampling period at predetermined, randomly selected times. Anglers were surveyed throughout the year. Creel clerks interviewed anglers during 5-7 hour periods, depending on seasonal day length. Anglers were interviewed individually and their responses to a standard series of questions about their fishing effort, success and preferences were recorded (Stanovick and Haverland 1995). Data sheets were collected from the creel clerk at the end of each month, error checked and forwarded to the Resource Science Center in Columbia to be entered into the computer program. Computer data and analysis revealed additional errors that were corrected before final analysis and summaries were generated. Results and Discussion Estimated angler effort in 2008 and 2009 (February 2008 through January 2010) was 395,217 and 470,079 hours per year, respectively. This represents a decrease from the previous creel from 1993 to 2002, wherein angler effort ranged from 510,938 to 709,786 hours per year. Angling effort has decreased by almost half lakewide since the previous creel surveys were conducted (Table 1). Some of this decrease may be attributed to above average lake level elevations in 2008 and 2009 due to high water releases from Table Rock Dam, decreasing fishing trips and making fishing, wade 2
4 fishing in particular, difficult throughout most of the year. Estimated fishing hours, catch and fishing trips were higher in zones 2 and 5 than in Zone 1 during most months of the year when high water levels were observed (Figures 2-4). Additionally, the highest amounts of angling hours, catch and fishing trips were observed from June through August during both years and have typically been associated with an increase in the number of people vacationing in Branson during the summer, many of whom fish incidentally (Weithman and Haas 1986). Economic conditions negatively impacted the tourism industry in the Branson area in 2008 and It is likely that this contributed to reduced angler use at Lake Taneycomo during the timeframe of this creel survey. Lake Taneycomo is primarily a trout fishery. Approximately 88 and 92 percent of the fish that anglers caught in 2008 and 2009, respectively, were rainbow trout, with brown trout comprising another 9 and 5 percent of the catch in 2008 and 2009, respectively. A limited fishery for other species is present, particularly black bass in Zone 5 (Table 2, Figure 5). Rainbow Trout Estimated catch of rainbow trout in Lake Taneycomo was 465,275 in 2008 and 538,719 in 2009, similar to the estimated catch of rainbow trout ranging from 319,803 to 639,465 annually from 1993 to 2002 (Table 3). On average, rainbow trout catch rates have increased while harvest has decreased in all zones since regulations were put into effect in 1997 (Tables 3, 5). The statewide limit for rainbow trout was changed from five rainbow trout per day to four rainbow trout per day beginning March 1, This may also have had an impact on the decrease in harvest of rainbow trout since the previous creel surveys concluded in Anglers released 82 percent of the rainbow trout they caught in 2008 and 83 percent in 2009, and nearly all of the rainbow trout caught in Zone 1 were released (Table 3). Anglers caught fewer harvestable size rainbow trout in Zone 1 in 2008 and 2009 compared to the average of past creels, but still released over 95 percent of the rainbow trout that they caught (Table 4). Anglers caught 1.32 and 1.26 rainbow trout per hour of effort in 2008 and Similar to previous creel surveys, catch rates of rainbow trout were highest in Zone 1 and progressively decreased towards the lower sections of the lake (Table 5, Figure 6). Rainbow trout release rates increased while harvest rates decreased in 2008 and 2009, following a similar trend compared to previous creel surveys from Additionally, catch rates of rainbow trout in Zone 1 in 2008 and 2009 were among the highest observed in any Lake Taneycomo creel survey. Anglers reported that the mean length of rainbow trout they caught ranged from 10.6 to 11.4 inches from The mean length of rainbow trout caught increased to 12.5 inches in 2008 and 12.9 inches in Historically, the mean length caught each year in Zone 1 increased from a mean of 11.7 inches in pre-regulation years ( ) to 12.4 inches during regulation years ( ). The mean length of rainbow trout caught in Zone 1 had further increased to 13.1 and 13.5 inches in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Mean length of rainbow trout caught in all other zones has also increased from past creels (Table 6). Size distribution of rainbow trout caught by anglers changed in Zone 1 when the special fishing regulation zone went into effect in The percentage of fish > 13, 16, and 20 inches increased in Zone 1 following the regulation change while the percentage of fish > 13 and 16 inches remained similar in zones 2, 3 and 4. The percentage of fish in these same size ranges increased in zones 2 and 5 in 2008 and 2009 (Table 7). 3
5 Using the creel angler catch data, length frequency histograms were created to show the overall size structure of rainbow trout caught by interviewed anglers in each zone. The overall size and number of rainbow trout caught by anglers was higher in Zone 1 and decreased progressively further down the lake. Measures of the quality of fish, represented by RSD values of 13, 16, and 20 inches, were also higher in the upper sections of the lake and remained similar between 2008 and 2009 (Figure 7, Appendix A). The majority of rainbow trout released in the special fishing regulation zone were within the slot, while rainbow trout released below the special fishing regulation zone were primarily smaller sized fish (< 12 ) (Figure 8). Conversely, very few rainbow trout were harvested within the special fishing regulation zone compared to below the regulation zone (Figure 9). Size structure and RSD values of rainbow trout were very similar among the fish caught by interviewed anglers and fish captured during electrofishing surveys in 2008 and 2009, indicating that our fish population sampling techniques are representative of what anglers catch within the lake (Figures 10-12). Brown Trout Estimated catch of brown trout was 18,546 in 2008 and 9,786 in 2009, and ranged from 13,251 to 52,787 from Most brown trout were caught in the special fishing regulation zone (zones 1 and 2:1) and nearly all were released (Tables 2 and 8, Figure 5). The highest catch rate of brown trout was in Zone 1 in 2008 at 0.29 fish per hour, and decreased progressively through 2009 (Table 9). Numbers of brown trout caught in zones 2 and 5 were also much lower than in previous creels. The mean length of brown trout caught by anglers in 2008 was 13.9 and increased to 15.0 in 2009, higher than the average mean length of 12.9 from the creels (Table 10). On average, the sizes of brown trout caught by anglers in 2008 and 2009 were larger than in the previous creel surveys, but fewer brown trout were caught (Table 11). Size distribution of brown trout caught by anglers during 2008 and 2009 closely resembled that of electrofishing surveys conducted during both years (Figure 13). Black Bass Black bass comprised 3 and 6 percent of the angling effort in Zone 5 in 2008 and 2009, respectively, and less than 1 percent in zones 1 and 2 (Table 2, Figure 5). Therefore, the following statistics are derived from Zone 5 only. Fishing pressure for black bass, based on angler preference, was 7.4 hours per acre in 2008 and 7.0 hours per acre in 2009 (Table 12). Black bass ranked third in preference for anglers in Zone 5 during both survey years and largemouth bass were the primary species caught. The catch rate of largemouth bass was 0.32 fish per hour in 2008 and 0.46 fish per hour in Harvest rate of largemouth bass was relatively low at 0.06 fish per hour in 2008 and 0.03 bass per hour in The mean length of largemouth bass harvested was 14.1 and 15.5 inches in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, anglers released 76 percent of the largemouth bass they caught in 2008 and 93 percent in Using the creel angler catch data, length frequency histograms were created to show the lengths of largemouth bass caught by interviewed anglers in Zone 5. For all largemouth bass caught by interviewed anglers, PSD12 was 76% in 2008 and 92% in RSD15 was 19% in 2008 and 39% in RSD15 values are very similar to those calculated from electrofishing surveys in 2008 but higher than in 2009 (RSD15 of 21% and 24% in 2008 and 2009, respectively) (Figure 14, Appendix A). Timing of electrofishing sampling for largemouth bass in lower Lake 4
6 Taneycomo is difficult to predict due to cold water temperatures that persist even during the spring spawning season. As a result, electrofishing surveys may not accurately depict the size structure of largemouth bass caught by anglers in the lower section of the lake (Figure 14). The mean length of largemouth bass caught by interviewed anglers was 12.6 inches in 2008 and 14.1 inches in Maximum length of largemouth bass caught by interviewed anglers was 18.1 inches in 2008 and 21.0 inches in Only 10 percent of the rainbow trout harvested in the special fishing regulation zone in 2008 were harvested illegally (N = 9), and less than one percent were harvested illegally in 2009 (N = 1). While not a stated objective, another possible benefit of the creel survey whether real or perceived, is the deterrent to illegal activities due to the increased presence of a Conservation Department representative on the lake. Management Implications The current regulations that were put into effect in 1997 have produced significant results that have improved the quality of the trout fishery in Lake Taneycomo. Anglers are currently catching more and larger rainbow trout compared to before the regulations went into effect (Tables 3-7). These regulations should be maintained as outlined in the 2010 Lake Taneycomo Management Plan. Current levels of fishing pressure and rainbow and brown trout catch rates fall within the established management objectives and continue to be appropriate throughout the lake (Table 13). The current stocking regime of 700,000 rainbow trout and 15,000 brown trout should continue to be maintained, as well as the current monthly, planned stocking adjustments that coincide with the current monthly estimated fishing hours and catch (Figures 2-3). It is worth noting that since the special regulations went into effect in 1997, angling pressure and harvest of rainbow trout has decreased along with an increase in rainbow trout catch rates, release rates and the mean length of fish caught (Tables 1, 3, 5-6). It could be possible that a further decrease in the number of rainbow trout stocked each year could provide even more potential for growing larger rainbow trout for anglers to catch, but might also have unintended, negative effects on catch and harvest rates. Dissolved oxygen levels in Lake Taneycomo typically fall to very low levels from September through December each year. Trout fishing success in Lake Taneycomo declines when dissolved oxygen levels drop below 6 mg/l (Weithman and Haas 1986). This was evident in October 2008 when dissolved oxygen readings below Table Rock Dam were at or below 4 mg/l during periods of generation and near zero during periods of non-generation (Figure 15). This decrease in dissolved oxygen corresponded with a decrease in angler catch rates (Figure 6). This trend was not seen in Zone 1 in 2009 due to the combination of hydropower and floodgate releases from Table Rock Dam that helped to keep the dissolved oxygen levels above 6 mg/l throughout October. Additionally, an increase in catch rates, combined with a decrease in angling pressure during this same timeframe, suggests that many anglers were fishing in the hatchery outlets in Zone 1 where fish were congregated in large numbers as a result of higher levels of dissolved oxygen. In addition to adhering to National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards, the MDC Shepherd of the Hills Hatchery discharges water into Lake Taneycomo through these outlets with dissolved oxygen concentrations ranging between 8 and 12 ppm. Decreases in catch rates were observed downstream in Zone 2 in October during both years, while catch rates were not as affected in Zone 5. Weithman and Haas (1984) observed this same 5
7 trend. Water quality began to improve in November of 2008 and 2009, and the low dissolved oxygen season ended in December during both years. Acknowledgements The Lake Taneycomo creel survey was a cooperative effort between Fisheries personnel of the Missouri Department of Conservation's Southwest Region and Resource Science Center. In particular, Matt Mauck and Andy Austin assisted with designing the study and carrying out day to day activities, Martha McCrary, Steve Sheriff and Sherry Gao managed the database and generated survey reports and Linda Williams conducted all data entry. Angler survey clerks were Robert Murphy, Warren Camp, Richard Garrison and David Dean. 6
