Amazing photos, the best I've seen of bull trout. Who would ever have thought that the bull trout population would benefit the way it has from the building of a dam! I wonder though, if at some time down the road the abundant bull trout population using the Wigwam and its tribs is going to have a negative impact on the cutthroat population. So far the two species seem to be getting along OK.

Bull trout and westslope cutthroat co-evolved in these streams. Unless something throws off the balance, the cutties will be fine.

I know they have co-evolved in those streams Highlander. Its just that the bull trout population to my understanding has by all appearances spiked up exponentially since the impoundment was created down stream. Hope you are right and everything continues to stay in balance.

reminds me of my dad's mentality in the '80's about every trout stream out there...lol...had to double take on what you said there...
