Introduction 1.0

Background 1.1

In 1961 construction of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam on the Upper Peace River began (approximately 100 km east of Hudson’s Hope), impounding the Finlay, Parsnip and Peace Rivers and their tributaries, creating the largest human-made reservoir in British Columbia. Dam construction was completed in 1968, with full pool attained in 1972. With the formation of Williston Reservoir, approximately 320 kilometres of mainstem habitat belonging to the Finlay, Parsnip, and Upper Peace Rivers was lost. The riverine habitat which supported Arctic grayling within the lower reaches of streams tributary to the upper Peace, Finlay and Parsnip Rivers (Withler 1959), now was replaced with a lacustrine environment. Withler predicted that the species would be considerably reduced in the immediate reservoir area, noting that these particular stocks did not commonly inhabit large lakes. Other more recent authors have noted Arctic grayling stocks are exclusively adapted to either a fluvial or a lacustrine life history strategy and do not appear to shift habitats (Kaya 1991; Kaya and Jeanes 1995). The first baseline fisheries inventories within the reservoir were undertaken in 1974-1975 by the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch to determine the species diversity and distribution within the reservoir and its tributary streams, and to identify important spawning, and rearing habitat and capacity (Bruce and Starr 1985; Barrett and Halsey 1985). The next baseline inventories were conducted fourteen years later, by the Peace Williston Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, in a follow-up sampling program to the 1975 inventory (Langston and Blackman 1993; Blackman 1992). Results from comparisons made between these inventories, and a creel survey conducted in 1977 seemed to indicate that Arctic Grayling were disappearing from the eastern tributaries to the reservoir, and the reservoir itself. In 1995, the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre assigned Williston Watershed Arctic grayling, a provincial ranking of S1, critically imperilled. According to Cannings and Ptolemy (1998), pages 50-51, this ranking was based on:

1. known occurrences-only found within Williston Reservoir and its inlet tributaries;

2. trends in populations within the tributaries to the reservoir using the 1975 and 1989-1991 sampling programs as a basis of comparison;

3. threats to grayling; change of large river to reservoir habitat following creation of the reservoir and resulting impacts, habitat degradation, overharvest related to road construction and pipeline crossings, potential introductions of interspecific …competitors;

4. vulnerability-sensitively balanced to its environment, particularly vulnerable when concentrated in small streams at spawning time;

5. significant declines in several populations, particularly those in the eastern portion of the watershed.

1

Cannings and Ptolemy (1998) acknowledged that “current range and distribution within the reservoir and within and among tributary streams is not known in any detail”, and that “no population estimates exist”. In order to better manage and conserve Arctic grayling stocks within the watershed, a better understanding of the current and historical known range and distribution was required.

Objectives 1.2

The objectives of this study were to: 1. document the current and historical known range and distribution of Arctic

grayling (Thymallus arcticus) within Williston Reservoir, Region 7A through consolidation of all historical and contemporary fisheries sampling within the project area;

2. identify stream attribute features recorded within the regionally developed database, provincial database, and GIS, for potential future modelling applications such as Population Viability Analysis (PVA), and Resource Selection Function (RSF);

3. determine areas with significant data gaps in terms of sampling distribution, effort and/or quality, using GIS;

4. discern population distribution, abundance and/or habitat use trends or patterns within the consolidated dataset, using GIS;

5. provide direction for future research, inventory, population monitoring/indices; 6. assess potential loss of Arctic grayling from smaller eastern slope tributary

streams (draining directly into the reservoir).

Methods 2.0

Study Area 2.1

The study was undertaken for the Williston watershed basin, within the administrative boundaries of Region 7A (MWLAP, Figure 1). Peace Reach tributaries east of and including the Wicked River on the north, and east of and including the Collins River on the south (Bernard, West Nabesche, Nabesche, Schooler, Selwyn, Point, Clearwater, Ducette, Pardonet, Carbon systems) lie within the administrative boundaries of MWLAP Region 7b, and therefore were not included within this study. The Williston Reservoir is located in north central BC, approximately 240 kilometers north of Prince George (Figure 2). The entire watershed drains an area of approximately 70000 km 2. Major rivers within the project area include: the Parsnip, Pack, Crooked, Nation, Manson, Omineca, Osilinka, Mesilinka, Ingenika, Finlay, and Ospika.

Data Consolidation 2.2

A comprehensive literature search for all relevant historical and recent fisheries inventory projects within the project area was conducted in Spring 2002. Using the Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS 2002), a literature search for all streams within the project area was completed. Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection Fish Collection Permit records from 1986 to present were searched for all permits issued within the project area, and subsequent fish collection permit reports were located and matched to the original permit wherever feasible. In addition to the literature search, interviews were conducted with regional fisheries staff and other private sector consultants and biologists to ensure that all sampling data for the watershed had been identified and located. Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection, Fish and Wildlife Section Head Don Cadden, and fisheries biologists Ted Zimmerman and Ray Pillipow, and Peace Williston Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program fisheries biologists Brian Blackman, Arne Langston, and Randy Zemlak were interviewed to review and identify unpublished field program sampling. Interviews were also conducted in June 2002 in Mackenzie with the Ministry of Forests- Small Business Forest Enterprise Program, Slocan Ltd., and Abitibi Consolidated Ltd. Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management fisheries inventory specialist Lynn Blouw provided assistance in identifying all DFO Fish Habitat Inventory and Information Program (FHIIP) and Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC) funded Reconnaissance Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory projects (FFHI) within the reservoir. All non-electronic data sources were entered manually into a scaled-down version of the Fisheries Data Information System database (MS Access 1997), using Resource Inventory Committee standards (to the level of detail as information provided in the original report could allow). Sampling stream, location, stream conditions, gear specifications and times, and individual and summary life history information for all species captured for each sampling event were recorded. For those reports that had not yet been entered into FISS, any barriers that were identified as potential or definite barriers to upstream fish passage were also recorded within the regional fisheries database. Barrier location, watershed code, feature type, height, length, and anecdotal comments were entered as appropriate. All snorkelling data was entered into a separate database (MS Access 1997) provided by Lynn Miers, MSRM, Victoria. In instances where locations of sampling events or barriers were not supplied, MWLAP Arcview GOAT v.5.1.21 was used to determine UTM coordinates based on either a text description or map supplied in the original report. Errors or inconsistencies that were encountered within the original text of a report were resolved and documented whenever possible, or if irresolvable the sampling event/site was not entered into the database and also accordingly documented. Electronic datasets (FHIIP and FDIS databases, BC Lakes files, and FISS barriers) were obtained through Oracle queries in the Fisheries Data Warehouse in Victoria (MSRM 2003). Aerial videography stream attribute data collected within selected reservoir watersheds, on behalf of Slocan Group, Ltd., 1996-1998 was also queried for class 2

4

(definite) barriers. Upon completion of manual data entry, queries of the regional fisheries databases were merged with the queries obtained through Oracle to produce a comprehensive sampling coverage for the project area. A detailed bibliography of all projects included in the final sampling coverage is contained within Appendix 2.

GIS Analysis 2.3

Using MWLAP Arcview GOAT v.5.1.21, all sampling events and species captured along with documented potential and definite barriers were mapped. Comparisons were made between Arctic grayling positive (captured) sites, Arctic grayling negative (species other than grayling captured), and sampling negative sites (no fish captured) to determine areas of Arctic grayling utilization (historic and present), areas without grayling utilization, and areas lacking quantitative sampling and therefore unable to determine grayling utilization. Sampling distribution, effort and quality was analyzed to identify areas with significant data gaps, and to discern grayling distribution and trends in habitat use. Based on the results of the preliminary overview of sampling and species distribution within the project area, a comparative analysis was conducted between two key datasets (Bruce and Starr 1985; Langston and Blackman 1993). Sampling site locations and species catch were compared to test the hypothesis that Arctic grayling had disappeared from the smaller eastern slope tributaries draining directly into Williston Reservoir (e.g. Chowika, Davis, Collins, Lafferty, Weston, Cut Thumb, Mugaha).

Results and Discussion 3.0

Literature Search 3.1

The literature search identified a total of 367 reports/datasets with sampling sites within the project area, representing a diverse array of fisheries inventory projects and sampling methodologies. Reports/datasets included: Forest Renewal British Columbia funded Reconnaissance 1:20000 Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory projects (FFHI), 1996 and 1997 DFO FHIIP stream inventory projects, FRBC funded Watershed Restoration Program (WRP)- Fish Habitat Assessment Procedure Level 1 (FHAP), and Fish Passage Culvert Inspection projects (FPCI), BC Lakes Lake Reconnaissance Surveys, and Lake Survey Data, (EEM) Environmental Effects Monitoring projects, Fish Collection Permit Reports, research papers, MWLAP published and unpublished fisheries field studies, PWFWCP published and unpublished fisheries field studies, and fish stream identification studies within the Mackenzie Forest District. Sampling dates ranged from the mid 1950’s up to and including the 2003 field season. Multiple year datasets were identified for the Parsnip, Table, Anzac, and Mesilinka Rivers. Reports providing population abundance and/or densities for Arctic grayling are currently limited to these systems. As evidenced by the literature search, trends in population size within grayling populations throughout the reservoir, with the exception of the Parsnip mainstem, Table and Anzac Rivers are not discernable from fisheries information collected to the present time.

Data Consolidation 3.2

Subsequent queries of the regional databases, and datasets housed within the Fisheries Data Warehouse produced a spatial coverage of over 9100 unique sampling events at a total of 5691 unique sites within the watershed. A total of 924 probable and definite barriers to upstream fish migration were identified. As electronic queries of Oracle were conducted on all DFO FHIIP and Reconnaissance FFHI projects that registered any sampling within the project area, sampling locations and events occurring outside of the project area (i.e. Carbon, Clearwater, Nabesche, Wicked, and others as previously mentioned in Section 2.1) were also captured incidentally and included within the final consolidated sampling coverage. However, these sampling events were not considered during the subsequent GIS analysis as they fell within watersheds not investigated in this study. Stream attributes commonly used within modelling applications were identified within the regionally developed databases, the provincial database, and the GIS environment. A review of the stream attributes recorded within the regional databases revealed that historical data typically contains limited information with potential utility for future modelling applications. Beyond providing grayling presence/absence and/or life history data, and species composition, the regional databases will aid in future identification of areas of interest, and in identification of projects that may have greater utility in providing data for modelling. Attributes available from the provincial database include grayling presence/absence and life history data, species composition, and site specific water chemistry, stream gradient, wetted width, elevation, and dominant bed material. Critical stream attributes such as stream order, gradient, elevation, watershed area, flow, equivalent clear cut area within watershed, frequency of stream crossings, etc. can be obtained for future modelling purposes through the use of geographic information systems. Given the wide range of sampling objectives between projects (and resulting methodologies employed), sampling efficacy and success in terms of capturing Arctic grayling varied greatly among projects. Angling, electrofishing, snorkelling, and seining had the highest success rates among gear types. Peace Williston Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program field studies and Overview Reconnaissance FFHI projects that targeted specifically for grayling (ECL Envirowest Consultants 1997; Chris Schell Consulting 2002) had the highest success rates in terms of detecting presence (36% of grayling targeted sites were positive for grayling as compared to 12% of non-targeted sites that were positive for grayling). WRP FHAP Level 1 and FPCI studies, EEM projects, and lake inventories (BC Lakes data), in general, showed the lowest success rates. Table 1.0, and Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a and 4b illustrate the distribution of sampling by gear type, and by sampling category respectively.

Factors affecting potential sampling success for grayling within any given watershed included: objective and scope of sampling conducted, gear type employed, length of time gear employed, stream conditions at time of sampling (i.e. electroshocking within acceptable temperatures and conductivities), experience/knowledge of field crew, spatial distribution of sampling throughout a watershed, time of year sampling was conducted, and size of stream sampled. These factors were taken into consideration on a watershed by watershed basis during our analyses of the data.

Present Day Arctic Grayling Distribution 3.3

GIS analysis of sampling locations and species captured revealed a present day (2000-2004) distribution of Arctic grayling within the mainstem habitats of 5th order and higher rivers as follows: Table, Anzac, Missinka, Parsnip, Nation, Mesilinka, Osilinka, Omineca, Ingenika, Toodoggone, and Finlay (Figures 5 and 6a, 6b). Grayling fry, juveniles, and adults have been captured within the mainstem and/or lower sections of the major tributaries in these drainages (i.e. Carruthers Creek, Ominicetla Creek, Silver Creek within the Omineca watershed (Chris Schell Consulting 2002; Cowie and Blackman 2003), Lay and Kliyul Creeks within the Mesilinka (ECL Envirowest Consultants Ltd. 1997) and Lay Creek (Mesilinka) and Philip Creek (Nation)(Clarke et al. unpublished). This distribution would seem to suggest a preference for fourth order or larger systems by Arctic grayling, however very little is known about spawning and early rearing habitat within the watershed at this time. Migration to spawning areas begins shortly after ice out at temperatures near 4ºC (Northcote 1995), with spawning typically occurring mid May through early to mid June within the reservoir. Due to this very early timing, spawners and newly hatched fry have moved off of their respective sites well before fisheries field sampling typically begins. Sampling of this nature within the reservoir (targeting grayling spawning and early rearing areas) has been limited to the Parsnip system (Blackman 2002b; Blackman and Hunter 2001). Results from these studies suggest that grayling are using primarily mainstem habitats for spawning and early rearing, however further sampling in other systems (i.e. Nation, Omineca, Osilinka, Mesilinka, Ingenika, and Finlay) is needed to draw any definitive conclusions for stocks within the reservoir.

7

The degree of utilization of the larger tributary streams to the major watersheds within the reservoir (Finlay, Ingenika, Mesilinka, Osilinka, Omineca, and Nation Rivers) by local grayling stocks is unknown. The timing of capture of mature adults within systems such as Philip Creek (Nation watershed), and Lay Creek (Mesilinka watershed) (Clarke et al. unpublished) and Silver, Ominicetla, and Carruthers Creeks within the Omineca watershed (Chris Schell Consulting 2002) within the summer months suggests that these systems are likely important summer feeding areas. The capture of grayling fry within the lower sections of Silver and Ominicetla Creeks within the Omineca watershed (Chris Schell Consulting 2002), and young of the year within a small tributary 500 metres upstream of the mainstem Mesilinka (ECL Envirowest Consultants Ltd.1997) indicates that spawning and early rearing is also probably occurring within these tributaries. Further directed sampling within these or similar drainages, designed to assess the degree of utilization throughout the year, is required for a better understanding of the roles these tributaries play in sustaining viable grayling populations. Watersheds with a fair representation of sampling throughout the study area that do not appear to support Grayling populations include the Ospika, Manson, Crooked, Pack, Davis, and the Chowika. The Ospika, Davis, and Chowika Rivers are eastern slope reservoir watersheds that are characterized today by several kilometres of lower gradient stream course, leading up to a series of cascades and canyon sections before rising up into the steeper slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Cowie and Blackman (2003, 2004) and Blackman (2001) noted grayling fry showing a preference for shallow low velocity (low gradient) habitats within the Osilinka, Omineca, Ingenika, and Parsnip systems. If stream velocity and hence gradient is indeed a limiting factor to grayling distribution, these canyon sections and higher gradients may be limiting grayling within these systems. The Manson River is a fifth order western slope reservoir watershed that has experienced extensive landscape level disturbance within the lower two thirds of stream reaches. It is characterized by unstable soils, relatively frequent landslides, and heavy utilization by the forestry and mining- sectors. Fisheries assessments in previous years give indications that all species are doing poorly within this watershed. Results from MWLAP snorkel surveys within the mainstem from 1998 and 2000 suggest that the Manson does not currently support a local population of grayling (personal communication, Ray Pillipow, Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection fish biologist, November 2004). Stream sampling within the Crooked/Pack system, dating back to 1956, has not returned a single capture of Arctic grayling, despite considerable sampling effort through the years. Species typically found within this drainage include: rainbow trout (Salvelinus onchorynchus), peamouth chub (Mylocheilus caurinus), northern pikeminnow (Ptycheilus oregonensis), longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus), largescale sucker (Catostomus macrocheilus), prickly sculpin (Cottus asper), lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), and mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni) (FISS 2004).

Candidate watersheds for further field sampling (limited sampling at present) include: Misinchinka, Colburne, Reynolds, and Hominka systems within the Parsnip, the Pesika, Akie, Kwadacha, Obo, Firesteel, Sturdee and lower mainstem Finlay (downstream of Toodoggone) within the Finlay, and the Swannell, Cutbank and Pelly Rivers within the Ingenika drainage.

Comparative Sampling Analysis within Eastern Tributaries 3.4

The overview of datasets within the final sampling coverage highlighted the near total absence of quantitative sampling, within the eastern slope tributaries draining directly into the reservoir, from the early 1960’s (prior to dam construction) to twenty years following impoundment. Three overview fisheries assessments were undertaken during the period prior to construction and immediately following impoundment (Withler 1959; Bruce and Starr 1985; and Barrett and Halsey 1985). Withler (1959) indicated that grayling were primarily using the lower stream reaches of tributary streams draining into the Upper Peace, Finlay and Parsnip Rivers, and were absent from large lakes. Although seining and angling were employed by Withler during August 1959 (8 sites within the Peace, Parsnip and lower Finlay Rivers, and an unrecorded number of sites within tributary streams to these rivers), specific sampling locations and results are not reported. Arctic grayling were captured within the mainstem Peace, Finlay and Parsnip Rivers. Withler reports grayling to be numerous within most tributary streams (of the Upper Peace) upstream to points of maximum possible ascent, and populations to be known within many tributary streams to the Parsnip downstream of the Parsnip River Bridge (located between Misinchinka and Mischinsinlika Rivers). Specific references are given to numerous grayling captured within Carbon, Clearwater, Point and Wicked Rivers within the Peace system, captures of grayling within the Mischinsinlika and Nation Rivers (Parsnip watershed), and sizeable populations (reported by local residents of Finlay Forks) within the Ospika, Mesilinka, and Ingenika Rivers (Finlay watershed). Of only two records on file for the lower Finlay mainstem (south of Chowika Creek) prior to construction of W.A.C. Bennett Dam, is one record of two grayling collected by UBC Fish Museum collectors on July 27, 1963 (UBC Fish Museum 2002). The remaining two fisheries inventories in this area, during this period are Barrett and Halsey (1985) and Bruce and Starr (1985). Barrett and Halsey undertook a comprehensive gillnetting program within the reservoir two years post impoundment (during the autumn of 1974 and the spring of 1975), to assess species abundance and composition within the reservoirs’ basins. Results from this sampling identified Arctic grayling as the fourth most common game fish captured (13 % of game fish). Comparatively, a follow-up gillnetting program conducted by Blackman (1992) in 1988, captured a total of two grayling within the reservoir (less than 1% of game fish). Considering that Arctic grayling within the Williston watershed appear to be fluvial, these results obtained respectively, two and sixteen years following inundation, are consistent with what one should expect to observe. Two years following final impoundment we should expect to capture displaced adult grayling within the reservoir

9

environment. Given an average lifespan of six years for Williston grayling (Blackman 2002a), we should not expect to capture this fluvial species within the lacustrine reservoir environment a total of sixteen years post flooding. The remaining baseline fisheries inventory conducted within the first few years after flooding was conducted by Bruce and Starr, within the tributary streams and major systems of the reservoir (1985). Sampling methods included angling, beach-seining, gillnetting, dip netting, fyke netting, and the use of prima-cord explosives. Comparisons of sampling site locations and species catch show the overwhelming majority of sampling within Williston Reservoir direct tributaries in 1975 by Bruce and Starr was situated near stream mouths or within the first five kilometres of the mouths (79% of sites on Chowika, Davis, Collins, Lafferty, Ospika, Centennial, Strandberg, Unnamed Tributary B, Weston, Cut Thumb, Tony, Tutu, Mugaha, and Lignite systems were located within the first five kilometres of stream mouths) (Figure 7a, 7b). Bruce and Starr describe the suitability of the lower reaches of many of these tributaries for spawning Arctic grayling. Adults classified as ripe (spawning occurring) or as spent (recently completed spawning) were captured within the lower reaches of the following streams within the project area: Blackwater Creek, Cut Thumb Creek, Manson River, Mugaha Creek, Nation River, Patsuk Creek, Strandberg Creek, Tony Creek, Tutu Creek, Weston Creek, Chowika Creek, Collins Creek, Davis River, and Lafferty Creek. Young-of –the-year, and/or juveniles were captured in the lowermost reaches of Carbon Creek, Cut Thumb Creek, Parsnip River, Reynolds Creek, and Blackwater Trib A (Blackwater Creek). Sampling within the eastern slope tributaries of the reservoir in 1975 did not extend into the middle or upper reaches of the watersheds. The next comprehensive sampling program within the reservoir’s tributaries followed Bruce and Starr fourteen years later. Tributary sampling by Langston and Blackman in 1989 occurred in many of the same creek mouth locations, and also did not extend into the middle or upper reaches of the watersheds with the exception of sampling in the Misinchinka River. Of the streams with grayling captured in 1975, only the major systems yielded Arctic grayling in 1989 (Nation, Omineca, and Mesilinka mainstems). Geographic Data BC Hillshade modelling and Base Mapping and Geomatics Services TRIM 2 Orthophoto Provincial Overview imagery show that sampling locations within the eastern tributaries to the reservoir in both 1975 and 1989 lie within the uppermost limit of the lower gradient reaches of the those streams (Figure 7a, 7b). According to Bruce and Starr (1985):

“The primary effect of impoundment on these Finlay Reach basin tributaries has been flooding of low gradient reaches that formerly crossed the floor of the Rocky Mountain Trench and drained into the Finlay River. Streams north of Lafferty Creek on the east side of the basin now typically have a steep gradient in the lower reaches. Most streams now pass through a canyon in their lower reaches.” (page 62)

10

Plotting the known probable and definite barriers in these systems corroborates this statement (Figure 7a, 7b). Given the absence of sampling within the middle and upper reaches of the eastern tributaries to the Williston Reservoir prior to the formation of the reservoir up until nearly three decades following completed impoundment, it is not possible to determine the true nature and extent that these streams may have historically supported Arctic grayling. The 1975 capture of grayling within these streams’ lower reaches can at best indicate that grayling (displaced grayling and potentially former resident grayling) were utilizing the remaining available stream habitats of these tributaries in the years immediately following inundation. In 1959, Withler made the following prediction with regard to Arctic grayling within the proposed reservoir area:

“Following flooding, the present rearing and spawning areas will be inundated to considerable depths. In addition lake waters will extend to the more precipitous mountainous areas surrounding the reservoir. This will mean that although restricted rearing and spawning areas may remain in some streams tributary to the lake, the more precipitous terrain will considerably reduce the extent of these areas.” (page16)

Their absence today may simply indicate that this remaining habitat cannot provide the amount of spawning, rearing, and/or overwintering habitat, and/or the connectivity to other stream populations that is required to sustain viable populations within these systems.

Conclusion 4.0

Based on the results of our analyses of historical and contemporary sampling distribution and effort within the project area, we conclude that the status of Williston Watershed Arctic grayling as SI, critically imperilled, should be taken into consideration for review. Our data consolidation and subsequent GIS analysis has shown that with the limited historical data collected prior to and immediately following the creation of the Williston Reservoir, and with our lack of knowledge of ecological requirements for this species within the Williston, we are unable to determine today whether and to what degree the smaller eastern tributaries to the reservoir supported local populations of Arctic grayling prior to impoundment. Populations exist today within fourth order and larger watersheds within the Parsnip, Nation, Omineca, Mesilinka, Ingenika, and Finlay systems, however the status (in terms of population size, stock structure, and long-term viability) of these populations, with the exception of Table, Anzac and mainstem Parsnip stocks is not known at this time. Of the remaining fifth or higher order watersheds, the Ospika, Davis, Chowika, Manson, Crooked, and Pack do not appear to support grayling populations at present. Stream gradient, available habitat, and watershed level dynamics likely affect grayling distribution within these drainages. We recommend the establishment of long-term population monitoring and/or indicing within several key grayling systems to aid in

11

12

understanding the health and long-term viability of those populations, and to determine population trends within the reservoir. Several significant areas for future research have been identified through our data gap analysis. Further investigation is required to identify spawning and early rearing habitat throughout the Parsnip, Nation, Omineca, Mesilinka, Ingenika, and Finlay watersheds, and to gain an understanding of the role that larger tributaries play for these mainstem populations. Targeted sampling for Arctic grayling within the lower Finlay and tributaries, Ingenika tributaries, and Parsnip tributaries (excluding Anzac, Table) will fill important knowledge gaps in grayling distribution in these drainages. Responsible future Arctic grayling management must include a clearer understanding of both stock structure and meta-population dynamics within the reservoir.

Recommendations 5.0

We recommend that the following initiatives be given serious consideration in the future development of an Arctic grayling management plan within Williston Reservoir:

• Conduct field investigations focussed on identification and documentation of critical spawning and early rearing habitat within the larger tributaries and mainstem systems;

• Determine year-round role and function of larger tributaries, in terms of their contribution to the continued health and viability of mainstem populations;

• Initiate a long term monitoring/indicing program in key grayling systems to differentiate stocks, determine health and viability of individual stocks, and to assess population trends within the Reservoir;

• Complete targeted sampling, designed to fill current gaps in known grayling distribution, within the following watersheds: Misinchinka, Colburne, Reynolds, and Hominka systems within the Parsnip, the Pesika, Akie, Kwadacha, Obo, Firesteel, Sturdee and lower mainstem Finlay (downstream of Toodoggone) within the Finlay, and the Swannell, Cutbank and Pelly Rivers within the Ingenika drainage;

• Continue the use of genetic analyses in conjunction with modelling applications and a clearer understanding of critical habitat requirements, to determine the current expected distribution and abundance of Arctic grayling within the Williston watershed;

• Reassess the provincial listing of Williston Lake Arctic grayling as S1, critically imperilled.
