If I am reading this correctly, the streams that are under the greatest threat from lake trout predation (North and Middle Forks), are right on the 10 year average. The one area that has zero impact from lake trout, the south fork above Hungry Horse Dam, has a substantial decrease from the 10 year average?
Maybe the lake trout is not the major factor in bull trout decline that we are all being told is true.

Mike I wonder the same thing some times these bull trout are they a lost cause how much more money is going to be pumped into these trout before somebody pulls the plug to the life support.True some of it pumps our economy but could another poster animal take its place that would benefit more from our attention.
