A channel catfish that was tagged in Leiter Wyoming was caught on the Yellowstone River near Pompey’s Pillar, Montana, a distance of 415 miles.
“This is a really remarkable fish movement when you consider all the hazards this fish had to face in swimming that far,” said Paul Mavrakis, Wyoming’s fisheries supervisor in Sheridan. “But what’s probably more remarkable is the fact the fish could swim that far without being blocked by a dam.”
