Abstract
Populations of bull trout in the Clark Fork River drainage of western Montana are small and fragmented by hydroelectric dams. The movements of four adult bull trout in this river were monitored by radiotelemetry after transport upstream of Milltown Dam. Two fish migrated 40 and 130 km to tributary streams of Rock Creek; one of these likely spawned. Two other bull trout moved downstream of the dam and appeared to later attempt to re-ascend. Movements of these bull trout suggest that Milltown Dam blocks migrations and that transporting fish upstream of the dam can enhance populations. Given the small sizes of bull trout populations in the Clark Fork River drainage, the benefits derived from transporting adult fish over dams is potentially great
