Why are non-native fish so beloved in Montana?

from Montana News · host Nick Mott, Austin Amestoy

Invasive species aren't usually something to celebrate, because they can wreak havoc on native ecosystems in ways impossible to undo. But other invaders have gotten a much warmer welcome. One listener wonders why some non-native species – like brown trout and rainbows – are so valued in Montana.
