I looked at some old pics and even though i have old pics of 5 gallon buckets full of rmw.....i dont see any rmw like the huge ones with the 1/2 inch up turned snouts we see today.
I also looked at some old b/w pics of bulltrout and they make our bulls today look like a ethiopian poster child.
Im no scientist...all i have for you is what ive seen

Interesting. Tezma got a 40cm female yesterday with a huge rostrum on it.
Funny little pig fish. A big male I got didnt have nearly the snout as that fish did. Caught 2km apart on the Bow.
I am a scientist, but often I have the same data as you, referred to as "traditional knowledge".
It's posts like Sundancer's where he presents qualitative data, as opposed to quanitative which are often of more value than a scientist's work.
SD has identified a potential concern, whereas science is not actively monitoring the issue, and likely only acts in a reactive manner.
"OMG the fish are gone, better take some samples/measurements/surveys"
aka
"Hey, where'd all the Bull Trout go?"
