Environmentalists say they'll sue over bull trout

Environmentalists say they intend to sue U.S. officials unless more is done to protect threatened bull trout.

A formal 60-day notice of their intent to sue was filed Thursday by the Cottonwood Environmental Law Center, WildEarth Guardians, Cascadia Wildlands and the Western Watersheds Project.

The groups say the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service failed to evaluate the consequences of projects approved within bull trout habitat.

When the Olympic National Park biologists were doing studies on Bull Trout in the coastal rivers on the Olympic Peninsula they found Bull Trout in the tribal nets and fish totes. In case anyopne is wondering where the bigger Bull Trout are. This is another example of the tragic failures in fisheries management here.

Bull Trout are doing VERY well here around Missoula!
