Good point. But this is different in terms of the types of water bodies that are fairly easily impacted streams and rivers, and, it looks more like replacement of non-native species with native ones.

Just take the Ram River for instance. Anyone on hear think that cutthroat should be removed and bull trout and rocky whites should be re-established?

For me, this is a great cutties fishery and I have zero interest in seeing change from that. I know of enough great bull and white fisheries that I do not see the need for another. Besides, it sounds like a cuttie success story to me. And if it ain’t broke….
