After a quick Google search on Bulltrout all of our neighboring jurisdictions (Montana, Idaho, BC) are having the same issues. All are listing angling pressure as a key threat.

Would you consider any fisheries with bull trout in them healthy in central/southern Alberta? If you say no you can kiss fishing goodbye in every river/lake with bull trout
