CODY, WY - The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is planning to poison off brook trout in a stream on the western slope of the Big Horn Mountains.
Later the department plans to restock the stream with Yellowstone cutthroat trout, a native species.
Work is scheduled to begin Aug. 9 and will involve putting the chemical rotenone in Soldier Creek. Game and Fish says the chemical is not toxic to people, pets or livestock in the quantities that will be used.
Remaining Yellowstone cutthroat trout in the creek will be moved to Buckskin Ed Creek, where brook trout were removed in 2008 and 2009.
Cutthroat from that creek will be moved back to Soldier Creek later.
