Bucket biologists at it again

Will anglers ever stop moving their favorite fish around? OK, so I already know the answer to that question. Still, this is the kind of thing that makes native species recovery seem impossible. Bull trout are all but gone from the Flathead River system, thanks to aquatic introductions to the fisheries experiment that is Flathead Lake. Trust me, a serious bull trout fishery in the Middle and North forks would make those Flathead River tribs world class fisheries, which apparently they once was.
