APPENDIX E: ATTRIBUTES TABLE 

Reproducing Species/Strain Present – Species/strain of trout currently present and reproducing in lake. 

Subspecies or strain (stock) of trout species is indicated if known. 

Stocked Species/Strain Present – Species/strain of stocked trout currently present in lake, but not reproducing. 

Assuming an approximate maximum life span of 10 years (range of 7–14 years), trout planted after 1993 (stocked in 

1994 or later) are likely to currently (2003) be present in lake. 

Stocked Species Scheduled for Stocking – Species/strain scheduled for planting under current WDFW 

management plan. Subspecies or strain (stock) of trout species is indicated if known. 

Stocked Species/Strains Historically Present – All of the species/strains of trout historically planted in lake. 

Subspecies or strain (stock) of trout species is indicated if known. 

Outside Range of Caudata – Lake is either outside range of salamander species native to North Cascades Complex 

or in alpine habitat without necessary habitat components to sustain a population of long-toed or northwestern 

salamanders. 

Within Range of AMMA – Lake is within the range of distribution for long-toed salamanders and has appropriate 

habitat. Perennial lakes that are within the range of northwestern salamanders and have suitable habitat are 

assumed (with rare exceptions) to not contain a population of long-toed salamanders. 

Within Range of AMGR – Lake is within the range of distribution for northwestern salamanders, has appropriate 

habitat, and is perennial. 

AMMA or AMGR Present – Species was observed during amphibian survey of lake. 

Index of Connectivity – An index of connectivity based on weighted calculations of potential salamander breeding 

lake (lakes within range of salamander distribution and having appropriate habitat) density (lakes/acre) within a target 

lake's basin (major tributary basin), Documented salamander breeding Lakes within 6 kilometers (km) (maximum 

colonization distance) of target lake, and number of potential salamander lakes with 0.6 km (maximum dispersal 

distance) of target lake. Lakes with an index of 0.7–0.9 have high connectivity; lakes with an index of 0.4–0.6 have 

moderate connectivity; lakes with an index of 0–0.3 have poor connectivity; and lakes with less than 0.0 index of 

connectivity can be considered isolated. 

Abbreviations of Species/Strain Names 

Oncorhynchus This designation is used where trout of the genus Oncorhynchus have been stocked, but the 

species was not recorded.

OC = Oncorhynchus clarki This is a generic designation used for cutthroat trout where the subspecies or strain is not known. 

Usually these fish are Twin Lake strain westslope cutthroat.

OCB = Oncorhynchus clarki 

bouvieri

Large spotted interior cutthroat trout subspecies (Yellowstone cutthroat trout) native to the 

Yellowstone River and Upper Snake River (above Shoshone Falls) drainages. Hatcheries in 

Montana were the usual broodstock source for this species. A common local name for these fish 

is “Montana Blackspot.”

OCC = Oncorhynchus clarki 

clarki

Coastal cutthroat trout. Usually, these fish are of the "Tokul Creek" hatchery strain.

OCL = Oncorhynchus clarki 

lewisi

Westslope cutthroat trout, strain unknown. A common local name for these fish is "intermontane" 

cutthroat trout. This subspecies of cutthroat trout is native to the east side of the Cascade 

Mountains; the west sides of the Rocky Mountains from the Snake River (below Shoshone Falls), 

north; and the east sides of the Rocky Mountains north of the Yellowstone River.

OCL(TL) = Oncorhynchus 

clarki lewisi

Twin Lake strain westslope cutthroat. This wild strain of westslope cutthroat from Twin Lakes in 

Chelan County, Washington, has been the primary source of westslope cutthroat trout broodstock 

planted in the Cascade and Olympic mountains of Washington since 1915.

OCB(HL) = Oncorhynchus 

clarki bouveri

Henry Lake, Idaho wild strain of Yellowstone cutthroat. 

OCLxOM Westslope cutthroat/rainbow hybrid. 

OM = Oncorhynchus mykiss This is a generic designation used for rainbow trout where the subspecies or strain is not known. 

OM(MW) = Oncorhynchus 

mykiss

Mount Whitney strain rainbow trout. This hatchery strain of rainbow is not known to spawn in 

Washington mountain lakes. 
A PPENDIXES

76 DRAFT MOUNTAIN LAKES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN

OM(PL) = Oncorhynchus 

mykiss

Packwood Lake strain rainbow trout. This wild strain of rainbow from Packwood Lake in Lewis 

County, Washington, was the primary source of rainbow trout broodstock in Washington from 

1917 to 1934. 

OM(ST) = Oncorhynchus 

mykiss

Steelhead trout (anadromous rainbow trout). 

OM(STAC) = Oncorhynchus 

mykiss

South Tacoma strain of hatchery rainbow trout. 

OM(KAM) = Oncorhynchus 

mykiss gairdneri

Kamloops trout are a wild strain of resident interior "redband" rainbow trout from British Columbia, 

Canada. Most Kamloops rainbow trout planted in Washington mountain lakes are probably 

derived from a wild broodstock in Pennask Lake, British Columbia. 

OM(HG) = Onchorhynchus 

mykiss

Hagerman strain rainbow trout. This hatchery strain of rainbow is obtained from Hagerman, 

Idaho. 

OM(RL) = Oncorhynchus 

mykiss irideus

Ross Lake rainbow trout are a wild strain of resident coastal rainbow trout native to Ross Lake, 

Washington. 

OMA = Oncorhynchus mykiss 

aquabonita

Subspecies of rainbow trout. 

SF = Savelinus fontinalis Brook trout are a char native to eastern North America. This fish is often called "Eastern" brook 

trout in the west, where the name was historically used to distinguish them from rainbow trout 

(which were originally also “brook trout”).
