HELENA – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking public comment on a proposed project to conserve native Yellowstone cutthroat trout in the Mill Creek watershed within the Custer Gallatin National Forest. Mill Creek is the largest tributary to the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley. The project would entail removing brook trout using electrofishing to prevent them from spreading to the headwaters. A draft environmental assessment is available on the FWP website and the deadline for public comment is Aug. 5.
