W 2800.3 P438 F-79-D-3 2010 c.1 FINAL PERFORMANCE REPORT FEDERAL AID GRANT NO. F-79-D-3 NORTH CENTRAL REGION FISHERIES MANAGEMENT GRANT OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION JANUARY 1, 2010 through DECEMBER 31,2010 FINAL PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Oklahoma Grant Number: F-79-D-3 Grant Program: Sport Fish Restoration Grant Title: North Central Region Fisheries Management Grant Grant Period: January 1,2010 - December 31, 2010 Project Leader: Bill Wentroth Project 1: Regional Fisheries Management Operations and Maintenance I. Objective: To plan, train, coordinate and administer management activities and operate and maintain all support facilities and all other infrastructure for the fisheries management crew within the North Central Fisheries Management Region. II. Summary of Progress: The North Central Fisheries Management Region maintained one building and one nursery pond during this reporting period. Lake to lake transfers of native fish species were performed according to HACCP procedures. Administration of management activities through reports, time records and invoices were accomplished. Library materials were processed for the North Central Regional library. HACCP protocols were observed during fish sampling seasons to prevent the spread of Aquatic Nuisance Species into uncontaminated bodies of water. Hulah Nursery pond was stocked with northern largemouth bass. Largemouth bass were released into Hulah Lake to supplement the bass and forage populations. Regional employees attended quarterly safety meetings and all supervisory training requirements were satisfied. Staff held regular planning meetings to discuss regional priorities. III. Conclusions: All objectives accomplished during the three-year period IV. Significant Deviations: None Project 2: Regional Fisheries Management Surveys I. Objective: To conduct fisheries management surveys inventories, as well as water quality sampling appropriate to management, in the North Central Fisheries Management Region waters, analyze data and prepare survey reports and management recommendations. II. Summary of Progress: Fisheries surveys and inventories were conducted on selected reservoirs and streams periodically using the procedures described in the document "Standardized Sampling Procedures for Lake, Reservoir and Streams Management Recommendations, Oklahoma Fisheries Management Program" (SSP). The following waters were surveyed during this reporting period; Bartlesville City Lake 2010 Birch Lake 2009 2010 2010 2010 2008 2010 2010 2008 2008 2008 2009 2010 2008 2008 2009 2010 2008 2009 2010 2008 2010 2008 2009 2010 2010 2010 2008 2008 2009 2010 Bluestem Lake Boomer Lake Lake Carl Blackwell Hominy Lake Kaw Lake Lone Chimney Lake Lake McMurtry Pawnee City Lake Lake Ponca Shidler Lake Shell Creek Lake Skiatook Lake Sooner Lake Spring Electrofish, Trap Net.

The majority of the age data were collected on white and black crappie populations during trap-net sampling. However, periodic age information was collected on largemouth bass, striped bass hybrid, striped bass, walleye, white perch, and blue catfish. The following lakes had otoliths taken during sampling and analyzed for age structure during this reporting period: Birch Lake White crappie and hybrid striped bass. Bluestem Lake White Crappie and saugeye Lake Carl Blackwell Largemouth bass, white crappie, saugeye and hybrid striped bass Hominy Lake White crappie. Kaw Lake Blue Catfish, white crappie, striped bass hybrid, striped bass walleye and white perch. White crappie. White crappie, saugeye White crappie, saugeye, striped bass hybrid Largemouth bass, white crappie, striped bass hybrid. Largemouth bass, white crappie, striped bass hybrid, saugeye, striped bass and white perch. Lone Chimney Lake Lake McMurtry Lake Ponca Skiatook Lake Sooner Lake Lake management reports were generated using the survey data collected from the lakes listed above. Fish population structure was analyzed using catch rates, size distribution, relative weights, and age and growth data generated under this project. These data were used to develop management recommendations intended to improve population structure. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's (ODWC) Fisheries Division began development of its Standardized Sampling Procedures (SSP) in 1977. The results of these sampling efforts are the basis for producing meaningful management decisions toward enhancement of Oklahoma sport fish populations. Since that time the SSP protocol has and continues to undergo change based on regular evaluation. SSP procedures are not specific to any single management region but are evaluated, augmented and modified on a Division-wide basis to insure standardization at all levels of sampling, data analysis and interpretation. As Oklahoma's fisheries managers become more proficient with sampling techniques, there arise questions regarding the efficiency and efficacy of the SSP protocol. Subsequent to this there has been several research efforts during the past five years aimed at evaluation and modification of SSP practices: • Seasonal and Habitat-Specific Length Bias of Electrofishing for Blue Catfish F-74-R • Electrofishing for Largemouth Bass: An Evaluation of Oklahoma's Standardized Sampling Procedures F-50-R, Project 29 • Gill net sampling: An Evaluation of Oklahoma's Standard Sampling Procedures F-50-R, Project 30 With regard to implementation of results from these research efforts, all three are still undergoing evaluation. It is expected that these research efforts will modify SSP guidelines to produce more accurate and precise results for formulating future management decisions. III. Conclusions: All objectives attained during the period IV. Significant Deviations: None Project 3: Regional Fisheries Habitat Maintenance for Lakes and Reservoirs I. Objective: Periodically maintain sport-fish habitat in the North Central Fisheries Management Region public reservoirs, lakes, ponds and tailwaters. II. Summary of Progress: Sport fish habitat maintenance occurred on seven different waters in the North Central Fisheries Region. The locations for these habitat maintenance tasks for this reporting period included: Lake Carl Blackwell 7 Brush Piles 3 Spiderblock areas Fairfax Lake 1 Spiderblock area Hominy Lake 2 Spiderblock area Kaw Lake 3 Brush Piles Lake McMurtry 4 Brush Piles 2 Spiderblock areas Ponca Lake 2 Brush Piles and 4 Spiderblock areas Shidler Lake 1 Spiderblock area III. Conclusions: All objectives attained during the period IV. Significant Deviations: None Project 4: Regional Technical Assistance to a Public Agency or Organization and Private Landowners I. Objective: To make available sportfisheries technical assistance to public entities and private pond owners that may be provided at the discretion of the Regional Supervisor based on time, travel and staff availability in the North Central Fisheries Management Region. II. Summary of Progress: Technical assistance was provided to 87 private landowners during this reporting period. Additionally the following public agencies were provided technical assistance: Standing Bear Park - Ponca City Marland Mansion Estate - Ponca City Sac and Fox Nation Environmental Agency Fishing Pond vegetation control Fishing Pond vegetation control Collection and identification of fish in two highly impacted streams on Tribal Lands. Collection of fish for analysis. Collection of fish for toxin analysis. Kaw Nation Environmental Agency Okla. Dept. of Environmental Quality III. Conclusions: All objectives attained during the period IV. Significant Deviations: None Project 5: Regional Fisheries Habitat Development for Lakes and Reservoirs I. Objective: Develop sportfish habitat in North Central Fisheries Management Region public reservoirs, lakes, ponds, and tailwaters. II. Summary of Progress: Fisheries habitat projects were not developed for the North Central Fisheries Management Region: III. Conclusions: No Activity IV. Significant Deviations: None Project Number: 6 Regional Fishing Access Development I. Objective: To construct and/or repair fishing access facilities on public waters in the North Central Fisheries Management Region. II. Summary of Progress: The following fishing access development project for the North Central Fisheries Management Region was not developed, but time was spent working with the cooperator on the application: Water Body Location Cimarron Council Boy Scouts of America Pawnee Co. Development type Fishing Dock III. Conclusions: All objectives attained during the period IV.
