Here’s some good news . . .
Recently completed bull-trout spawning surveys in the North and Middle Fork Flathead river drainages indicate there is a stable population, according to state biologists.
This year’s surveys were a comprehensive, basinwide effort that focused on all of the known spawning streams in the North and Middle Fork drainages. The basinwide surveys, carried out every few years, were conducted on 31 streams, including the eight “index” streams that are surveyed every year in the North and Middle Fork drainages.
