Abstract: This project will benefit subsistence, recreation, and commercial users of western Prince William Sound. There are two phases to the project. Phase 1, which began in FY 96, verified the ability of Solf Lake to support a sustainable population of sockeye salmon. Phase 2 included stocking the lake with approximately 100,000 sockeye salmon fry, then ensuring access to the lake for returning adult salmon. The stocking program began in 1998 along with modification to the two outlets to control water levels. The reconstruction of the fishway in the eastern channel will be completed in the summer of 2000 ensuring returning adult salmon access to Solf Lake in the year 2001. [NOTE: This project, originally scheduled to closeout in FY 02, is now requesting funds in FY 03 ($5,000)].
