Yellowstone Cleans Up Invasive Trout | Boise News

Yellowstone’s launching a bold cleanup mission to eradicate invasive rainbow trout in Buffalo Creek, starting August 31st through September 7th—temporarily closing the creek but keeping Slough Creek Campground water safe. Using EPA-approved rotenone, rangers aim to stop hybridization that threatens native cutthroat trout, the park’s only naturally occurring trout species and vital keystone of the ecosystem. While no native fish live in Buffalo Creek, any caught will be relocated. This short-term disruption is a long-term win for preserving Yellowstone’s wild heart.
