CASPER, Wyo. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department said on Tuesday they are proposing securing instream flow water rights for sections of five creeks considered to be “crucial” native habitat for Yellowstone cutthroat trout.
The species has been limited to about 25% of its native range in Wyoming due to habitat changes and the presence of non-native species.
