Idaho Fish and Game will begin a native fish restoration project in Binarch Creek, a tributary to the Priest River, in September. Fisheries staff in the Panhandle Region will use rotenone to remove nonnative brook trout, with the goal of benefiting westslope cutthroat trout populations.
This marks Phase 1 of a larger, collaborative effort between Fish and Game and the U.S. Forest Service. Future phases will include fish stocking, habitat improvements, barrier removals and other restoration work.
