B--DRY FORK BLACKFOOT EDNA SAMPLING
The contractor will retrieve 79 eDNA samples from the Dry Fork basin, accessed via a 6-mile hike from the Hobnail Tom Trailhead and covering more than 25 stream miles across multiple named and unnamed drainages. Packstock will likely be required to transport equipment to a base camp, and some bushwhacking will be necessary. A brief summary report on trail conditions, intermittent stream reaches, dry sampling locations, and fish barriers must be provided. Sampling must be completed during relatively low-water conditions between July 15th and November 1st. The work will be performed in Lewis and Clark County, Montana.
