Looks like Wyoming Fish and Game is joining the effort to re-establish historically native fish in the Yellowstone area. Didn’t realize that so few Yellowstone cutthroats are left in the NF Shoshone drainage (thinking back, the times I’ve fished the North Fork, just about all the fish I caught were brookies).

A similar project to re-introduce grayling (and westslope cutts) to, you guessed it, Grayling Creek, is in it’s 2nd year http://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/pressrel/2014/10092014_graylingCreekRestoration.php; good for the natives (although I will miss those rainbows!).

Regards,
Scott

I think its ironic that a non-native entity sees fit to remove another non-native entity as if its the only correct step to take. After all, it is “science based”. Anybody asked the Shoshone lately whether or not wildlife management should get their butts out of Yelowstone? Seems like failed logic to me. I agree with reintroduction…but not the removal part. Nature, which we are a part of, has already altered itself. Just thinking out loud. :slight_smile:
