Tributary management is an essential component of Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) reintroduction in Lake Tahoe. A previous effort by the Tahoe Basin LCT Recovery Implementation Team collectively evaluated and prioritized tributaries in the basin with potential to support recovery of LCT. These tributaries will be assessed for the establishment of a temporary fish passage barrier (weir) and data collected will be used to inform development of a tributary management plan. In 2022 the LNFHC continued development and testing of a field protocol to rate potential fish passage barrier sites near the confluence with Lake Tahoe. Barriers seek to minimize hybridization of LCT with nonnatives.
