| Abstract: | This project will continue to address the goal of increasing salmon abundance and restoring fisheries in the Alexander Creek drainage by suppressing the invasive northern pike population during 2017 and 2018. Netting will be conducted in up to 67 side channel sloughs of Alexander Creek to catch Northern pike. In addition, minnow traps will be used to determine catch per unit effort of juvenile salmonids for comparison of abundance over time. |
