The Fish and Wildlife Service is proposed to revise the current critical habitat designation for bull trout, listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, throughout its range in five Pacific Northwest states.
In Montana, approximately 3,094 stream miles and approximately 223,762 acres of lakes or reservoirs are being proposed in Deer Lodge, Flathead, Glacier, Granite, Lake, Lewis and Clark, Lincoln, Mineral, Missoula, Powell, Ravalli, and Sanders Counties.
