I should note I was talking about fish habitat generally, not necessarily that little section of the stream shown. Perhaps that is where the confusion and your comment is coming from. I wasn't trying to say that those sets of tire tracks were from industrial workers.

There are drainage's with next to no active industrial activity where quads are by far the biggest threat to bull trout. We call them in while hiking every year, not enough resources for SRD to tackle the issue. The streams have been long shut down to legal angling yet the ATV's continue to have free reign/ destroy large areas. Bull trout numbers continue to slide in some of these areas. It's very sad.
