There is a lot of good work going on with Bull trout in the Gregg River, they are hurting from over abundance of brookies. Even better is the initiative with the Athabasca rainbows trying to create a brood stock well to conserve the genetics. The Grayling in the Mcleod are suffering and need a lot of work/$$ to conserve them. There are issues with selenium runoff in all the headwaters adjacent to the coal mines south of Hinton which is affecting spawning success of the fish mentioned above. All are native species that fish very well when populations are healthy. Direct the fund to help Native species recover before wasting $$ on exotics. I.e. Browns and Brookies.
