Troop 2077 to take us on their tour
Girl Scout Troop 2077 rocks! Seated at Montana’s
first and best-known state park are Brittany Fuller,
Maria Grimes, Guinevere Abern, Katey Dykstra,
Reata Waldenand and Troop Leader Patti Scanlan.
Standing are Tatyanna Kocab, Rebecca Abern and
Allie Greenough. The Lewis and Clark Caverns
Historic District was placed on the National Register
of Historic Places in 2018. The Lewis and Clark
Expedition didn’t actually discover the caverns,
but they did, however, pass through portions of the
modern-day park, camping within sight of the caverns
on July 31, 1805. The cavern overlooks over 50

miles of the trail from the Lewis and Clark Expedition
along the Jefferson River. In 1892, local ranchers
Tom Williams and Bert (or Burt) Pannel saw steam
coming from the caverns while hunting. Following
the discovery, two people from Whitehall, Montana,
Charles Brooke and Mexican John, claimed that they
had discovered the caverns in 1882. However, their
claims are unsubstantiated. In 1898, Williams finally
explored the caverns with some friends. The cave
was first developed for tours around 1900 by Dan A.
Morrison, who called it Limespur Cave. Check out

Girl Scout Troop 2077 recently went on a trip that
lasted five days and composed of 1,042 miles. During
our trip we earned our Geologist badge.
When we first arrived at our camp, it was so windy
and rainy that it was a struggle just to set up our tents.
It was an even bigger challenge to cook food and stay
warm. Later that night, one tent had both poles snap
leaving us half as much room to sleep!

Fort Peck Reservoir water levels are down…
What does this mean for the fishery?
Anglers and boaters recreating on
Fort Peck Reservoir this year have noticed
that water levels are lower than they have
been the last several years. More shoreline
is exposed, boat ramps are longer (all
ramps are currently usable), and islands
and shallow points are “popping up”
where they haven’t been seen for years.
Besides making boating on the reservoir
a little more challenging, how do these
lower water levels affect the fishery of Fort
Peck?
Changing water levels are nothing
new to Fort Peck. Since Fort Peck Dam
was constructed in 1937, water levels have
fluctuated annually. In drought years like in the late 1980s
and mid-2000s, levels were very low for several years. As
of June 21, 2021, the water level is at 2,233 ft above sea
level, which is about 17 ft below the full pool of 2250 ft and
six feet lower than on this date in 2020.
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks fisheries sampling has
shown that declining reservoir elevations beginning in
the late 1990s and persisting into the early 2000s led to
reduced habitat and shoreline forage fish production. This
loss of habitat led to poor survival and growth of walleyes
and other game fish species.
Decreasing reservoir levels influence walleye, pike,
and other game fish primarily through the food chain. If
shoreline prey fish like yellow perch, crappie, and shiner
species are in low abundance, top predators will compete
and consume these forage species and then move on,
looking for other forage.
“In the current case on Fort Peck, that could mean
that walleye and other game fish will head to deeper
water in search of cisco,” said Heath Headley, FWP Fort
Peck Reservoir biologist. “As we get into the summer
angling season, anglers may need to adjust their tactics
accordingly.”

The 2020-2021 winter and spring provided less
snowpack and runoff, resulting in lower water levels than
the last several years. Additionally, current high elevation
snowpack estimates for headwater drainages are extremely
low, resulting in runoff projections that could drop Fort
Peck another 1.5 to 5 ft.
Is there a potential silver lining to the declining water
levels? Maybe, according to Headley.
“If the reservoir levels are held lower for several
consecutive years, new vegetation will start to grow around
the shoreline again,” adds Headley. “When water levels
improve and these areas are flooded, this not only provides
temporary habitat for forage species, but nutrients from
these plants will break down and enter the water starting a
positive food chain production.”
In 2007, just 14 years ago, Fort Peck reached its lowest
level at 2,196 ft…54 ft below full pool and 37 ft lower
than the reservoir’s current level. Since 2008, the upper
Missouri River drainage above Fort Peck, including the
prairie watershed, has generally seen good snowpack and
runoff into the reservoir. After the big snowfall winter and
wet spring of 2010-11, the reservoir reached full pool. In
that huge water year, the reservoir picked up an additional
30,000 surface acres…roughly the size of Canyon Ferry
Reservoir!
“The increasing reservoir elevations, beginning
in 2008 and continuing past 2011, are one of the main
reasons the walleye fishery is very healthy today,” continues
Headley.
As we get into the boating season, anglers and water
recreationists are encouraged to be on the lookout for new
sunken islands and shallow bays. Be safe, have fun, and go
catch some fish!

out of three hints, but we had
some additional help from our
host. We managed to get out with
four minutes to spare! While we
did escape, we learned a lot about
how to improve communication
and teamwork next time.
Our trip was full of fun,
laughter, and learning. Not only did
we get to be geologists for a week,
we did crafts and practiced outdoor
skills like setting up camp, outdoor
cooking, and fire building.
We want to give a special thank
you to the Nashua Lions Club,
Jessica Scanlan, and Patti Scanlan
for making everything possible. In
addition, we would like to thank the
Valley County Combined Campaign
for helping with funds that help us
to pay for experiences like this.
