The flatbed truck with a green aquatics tank arrived at the trailhead at 9 a.m., carrying 900 genetically pure Yellowstone cutthroat trout.

Bucket by bucket, technicians with Wyoming Game and Fish carried the trout to the banks of Dead Indian Creek, a fast-running tributary that feeds the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River.

Monday"s release marks an ongoing effort by state biologists to restore Yellowstone cutthroat to native waters across the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, including Dead Indian Creek.
