Abstract

Several criticisms have been raised related to the recovery of the restored upper Clark Fork River fishery following remediation and restoration activities. In their presentation Alex and Jay will demonstrate an ongoing study that investigates the broad scale habitat use of fish by characterizing specific micro –habitat conditions. The overarcing goal of the study is to determine trout habitat preferences in both restored and unrestored reaches of the upper Clark Fork mainstem.
