Removal of nonnative fish from the upper Gibbon River drainage, which includes streams that flow out of Grebe, Wolf and Ice lakes, will cause some road and trail closures in Yellowstone National Park on September 2-13, 2019.

Over the next week and a half, Park staff will be wrapping up the Soda Butte Project, removing brook trout from 28 miles of streams in and around Yellowstone.

More Yellowstone stream poisoning is on tap next week, as the National Park Service implements another step in efforts to restore native cutthroat trout.

An effort to save Yellowstone cutthroat trout may involve poisoning brook trout in the Soda Butte Creek outside the Park boundaries.

A new attempt to rid streams of non-native brook trout will begin this week, when Elk Creek and its tributaries will be treated with Rotenone to kill off the invasive species.

The National Park Service has started work on a Native Fish Conservation Plan for Yellowstone National Park, as officials plot the outlines of a Park-wide attempt to eliminate non-native species from Lake Yellowstone and other streams and lakes.
