This Environmental Assessment proposes a native westslope cutthroat trout conservation project in Dyce Creek, near Polaris, MT. The proposed project includes removal of non-native brook trout and hybridized trout upstream of an existing barrier using rotenone. The treated reaches of Dyce Creek would be re-stocked with westslope cutthroat trout through natural colonization and transfer of genetically pure fish or eggs from the headwaters of the stream.
