Rainbow trout removal proposed on wilderness stream that flows into Yellowstone

In an attempt to protect Yellowstone cutthroat trout in one of their native strongholds, three agencies are joining forces in a proposal to remove rainbow trout from Buffalo Creek in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.

Buffalo Creek flows into Yellowstone National Park and joins Slough Creek — a popular fly-fishing destination. Slough Creek is a tributary to the Lamar River roughly five miles before it enters the Yellowstone River.
