	The Bull Trout: A Threatened Species
		The Bull Trout belongs to a branch of the trout family called "chars," along with the Lake Trout, (Eastern) Brook Trout, and Dolly Varden (which was once considered to be the same species as the Bull Trout).
		Some anglers saw Bull Trout as unwanted predators that fed on the more savoured trout species introduced by Man. From the 1930s to the 1950s, the removal of large Bull Trout from some streams was an accepted practice, because it was believed this removal would improve the survival of the other fish.
		Trout Unlimited Canada has embarked on an extensive sign campaign along streams throughout the entire eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta to caution anglers not to keep any bull trout.

		And one population of bull trout in Washington is known to be anadromous.

	Resident BULL TROUT
		The native bull trout was once considered to be a predator of other "more desirable" game fish species, so harvest was encouraged and bounties were paid to remove the bull trout.
		Some bull trout will spend their entire lives in cold headwater streams, where others spend the first 2-4 years in their natal stream, then migrate to larger rivers or lakes for another 2-4 years before maturing.
		Bull trout are very well adapted to overcoming significant barriers during migrations that would otherwise cut off spawning areas to other trout and salmon species.

	The Future of the Bull Trout
		While it may be appropriate to consider the bull trout as an ice age fish dependent upon clean, cold water for successful reproduction and survival and that its historic distribution is reduced from the Pleistocene, it is inappropriate to consider this as a species marked for extinction because it cannot adapt to a changing climate.
		Although the bull trout is not in the same situation of the fl-footed ferret or whooping crane which have only a single surviving population, it is a declining species, and it is clear that action needs to be taken to prevent further declines.
		Bull trout had been eliminated from the stream due to a series of passage barriers but upon their removal, mature bull trout were observed to again use the stream (Thomas 1992).
