Bull Trout Conservation: Fall Research in the Northern Rockies

Fall in Idaho and Montana marks a key time for migratory bull trout as they make their way through mountain lakes, rivers, and streams in search of cold, clean water to spawn. This iconic species is at the heart of conservation efforts, with agencies like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) working hard to protect them for future generations.

By focusing on clean water, cold water, complex habitats, and connected fisheries—the “four Cs” for bull trout survival—these efforts ensure that this iconic species remains part of the landscape for many generations  to come
