5 Completed Harriman State Park adult trout habitat study Zach Kuzniar defended M.S. thesis Manuscript submitted to Ecology of Freshwater Fish Monitored Buffalo River fish ladder for 11 th year Assessed wastewater treatment plant for City of Ashton Reviewed ESPA managed recharge program for IWRB Provided consulting services to IDFG, FTR, USFS, IWRB and others Delivered 8 professional presentations and numerous other talks Conducted second year of invertebrate sampling Greatly expanded water-quality monitoring program Submitted manuscript on Harriman State Park angler attitude survey to North American Journal of Fisheries Management Conducted survey of angler use in new winter seasons Assisting IDFG with creel survey on Teton River Initiated three-year assessment of economic value of angling 5

7 Two sources of water: springs and runoff Water absorbed in and around Yellowstone later emerges at Big Springs and other springs in region This water is baseflow Reflects three years of cumulative precipitation Makes up 70% of Henry s Fork flow Runoff is seasonal, dependent on high-elevation snowpack on western edge of headwaters 7

8 (Water year = October 1 to September 30) Supply: Record low snowpack 2013 and 2014 were low water years Flow: Irrigation demand started April 1 High flows out of Island Park Reservoir earlier in season Third driest spring runoff since 1935 Driest water year since 1941 WY driest sequence since WY

9 Driest since 1941 WY driest sequence since WY

10 Driest since 1941 WY driest sequence since WY

11 Used 70% of reservoir Bright side: not nearly as bad as could have been Excessive drawdown prevented due to May rain and careful, collaborative management 11

12 12

13 13

14 Needed to fill Island Park Reservoir Decreased flows to 120 cfs Why so low? Three dry years in a row (2013, 2014, 2015) decreased baseflow substantially, leading to low inflows into Island Park Reservoir 14

15 15

16 Below-average snowpack Above-average April temperatures Runoff occurred three weeks earlier Results: Above-average April flows Filled Island Park Reservoir (physically) Kept Island Park Reservoir filled for 6 weeks 16

21 21

22 Now: Fourth dry year in a row May rain: Delayed irrigation demand until normal time Helped fill Island Park reservoir after flow test Projected flows: Gradually ramp up to 1600 cfs in next 10 days Run at 1600 cfs for 4 weeks (late June to mid-july) Future: Winter WY 2017: lower winter flows than WY 2016 Will the next four years be like the last four years? 22

49 Questions: Does Buffalo River contribute to Henry s Fork fishery? If so, how? Spawning? Rearing? Juvenile winter habitat? Can recruitment in Buffalo River explain variability in age-2 recruitment in Henry s Fork? Goals: Infer parentage of migrating rainbow trout Are they offspring of migrating Henrys Fork fish? Are they offspring of year-round resident Buffalo fish? A combination of the two? 49

50 Henry s Fork 2015: Collected tissue from a sample of individuals of all ages 2016 and 2017: Collect tissue from a sample of age-2 fish Buffalo River 2014: Collected tissue from all upstream-migrating spawners 2015: Collected tissue from all upstream-migrating spawners & sample of downstream-migrating juveniles 50

51 Offspring of one resident Buffalo River fish and one Henry s Fork migrant 11% 9% 80% Offspring of two Henry s Fork migrants Offspring of two resident Buffalo River fish, migrating downstream after 9-12 months 51

52 Buffalo River spawning run produces 8,000 to 30,000 fry annually recruiting insurance for HF Henry s Fork is providing majority of winter habitat for juveniles Only juveniles overwinter in Buffalo River Emphasizing importance of maintaining high winter flows in Box Canyon 52
