First-in-a-century fish success

Who says we can't undo damage done to the environment? Here's a success story.

A 13 inch rainbow trout made history last week. It swam upstream to spawn in the Clark Fork River, past the former site of the Milltown Dam. This is quick success for the restoration project, and it should give hope to everyone that ecosystem restoration can work.

Blogfish brought you the news of the Milltown Dam coming down, and now I'm very pleased to tell you that fish are moving past the old dam site. Go Fish! They're tougher and more resilient than many people think.
