Thanks for sharing!
Do you suppose someone doesn't want to spend $$ on recovering bull trout?

In those system here in Washington that have bull trout they are an excellent indication of the overall health of the river system from the fish's point of view. Those with migratory forms (anadromous, fluvial, and adfluvial) bull trout use the whole system from the high mountain spawning streams to the lower feeding areas. Virtually every $ spend in bull trout would have benfits for the rest of the fish community.

It has been my observation that while folks wave their hands a lot and pay lip service to salmonid recovery in reality very little of substance is happening on the streams.
