A big one is the fisheries initiative. Lost River Whitefish & Grayling are on the docket but we’ve sent several Notices of Intent to Sue in central Idaho on Steelhead, Chinook, and Bull Trout in the past few months as well. Look for a cutthroat push in the future as well – that should be fun to write about, the history of the drainages and its genetic expression – it may give Ken some incentive to learn the difference between Chinook & rainbow trout 🙂
