Opportunity Summary:

The Pyramid Lake Creel Surveys opportunity is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) stating an intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to support creel surveys at Pyramid Lake, Nevada. The effort is designed as a coordinated project between the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery Complex (LNFHC) and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (PLPT). In practical terms, the project funds on-the-ground survey work aimed at collecting information from anglers (and/or observing fishing activity) so managers can better understand fishing effort, catch rates, harvest, and other metrics that describe how the fishery is being used and how it is performing.

A central purpose of the surveys is to generate data that helps evaluate the Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) stocking program. By tracking outcomes associated with stocked fish and the broader fishery, the partners can assess whether stocking goals are being met and use the findings to guide future management decisions. The notice also emphasizes a public-facing benefit: information from the surveys is intended to help inform the public about the native fishery at Pyramid Lake, strengthening understanding of the resource and the management actions supporting it.

From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FWS R8 LNFHC FY11 001 and falls within the Environment and Natural Resources activity category. It is associated with CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The agency expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. The award ceiling is $40,000 and the award floor is $1. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means applicants are not obligated to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments). The notice was posted and created on November 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of November 23, 2010, and an archive date of December 23, 2010. Because it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to award, it signals that the agency planned to move forward with a specific awarding approach rather than conduct a wide, open competition typical of many grant announcements.

For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Mistylynn Summers at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 775-265-2425 or mistysummers@fws.gov.
