This study reports the fall and winter movements of 14 sub-adult and 8 adult migratory westslope cutthroat trout in the North Fork, Middle Fork, and mainstream Flathead River from October 1998 through February 1999. Radio-telemetry was used to track the fish. Cutthroat trout were also tracked in the spring of 1998 in the upper Flathead River drainage. Radio-telemetry was used to track lake trout and northern pike from 1996 to 1998 in the Flathead River. The movements and distributions of bull trout were tracked from March 1998 through December 1999 in the Flathead River.
