Take no bull? That's right - protect them. For thousands of years, bull trout have traveled some of the longest migration routes of any trout in North America. Once common throughout the inland Pacific Northwest, bull trout now live in reduced numbers in five western states and two Canadian provinces. They no longer live in California. Montana and Idaho are the bull trout’s strongholds, but even here bull trout face a chance of eventual extinction in some streams where they live.
