Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout Preservation in the Upper Camas Drainage Environmental Assessment
Glacier National Park. 2019. Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout Preservation in the Upper Camas Drainage Environmental Assessment. National Park Service
Glacier National Park is proposing to use rotenone, a fish toxicant, to remove non-native Yellowstone cutthroat trout from Lake Evangeline, Camas Lake, and Camas Creek upstream of Arrow Lake in the Upper Camas drainage. Following the removal of the Yellowstone cutthroat trout, native westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout would be translocated (i.e. stocked) into the lakes. This would be done to establish a native fish assemblage that is secure against the threats of non-native fish and climate-related habitat degradation.
