Cutthroat trout on the Flathead Indian Reservation, Part 1
By Craig Barfoot, Tribal Fisheries Biologist
The westslope cutthroat trout is one of at least 10 subspecies of cutthroat trout, and a century ago it was the most widely distributed and abundant of them all, native to parts of Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Similar to many other fish native to the Northern Rockies, it was a staple in the diet of the Salish, Pend’ d’Oreille, and Kootenai people and it provided a dependable and toothsome source of protein. Today, however, this wonderful and diverse fish—this shimmering jewel left in the wake of the last ice age—has declined to the point that it is no longer present in most of its former range. This is the story of that fish, how it declined, and how the tribes are working to ensure that it will still be here 100 years into the future.

Cutthroat trout on the Flathead Indian Reservation, Part 2
By Craig Barfoot, Tribal Fisheries Biologist
Today, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (Tribes) are working to protect and enhance remaining cutthroat trout populations on the reservation. The Tribes have a long-term goal, where possible, of restoring cutthroat trout to some of their former habitats. Working toward this goal will require a number of actions aimed at conserving and enhancing remaining cutthroat trout populations and restoring fish to previously occupied habitats.
