The index sections in tributaries for all three major populations (Flathead, Swan, and Hungry Horse Reservoir) were surveyed this year, under good conditions. The same stream sections are counted each year and represent a portion of the total bull trout spawning-run. According to FWP Fisheries Biologist Tom Weaver, the Middle and North Fork Flathead redd counts were about average for the past decade, while counts in the South Fork Flathead and Swan drainages were below average for the past decade.
