He is currently doing a study on the problem and hopes to have a report out by spring.

Interesting theory and I have to wonder how many rock pools and to what level they are being made in some rivers to create a concern. I know the sea run bull trout navigate some boundaries far more complex then any rock pools I have seen made
I have not been out to western Alberta’s bull trout rivers for some time so maybe this is a new issue I just can’t invision
