Maybe it's the bull trout that are putting the cutthroat trout on the threatened list and the anglers that are putting the bull trout on the threatened list. I can't tell you how many times I have found dead bull trout on banks of rivers and creeks, and I'm pretty sure they don't just jump up on the bank to suntan and then forget to get back into the water after they are done tanning.
