Grayling Reintroductions
The goal of reintroductions is to introduce grayling that survive and naturally reproduce to establish self-sustaining populations. Hatchery grayling
or remote site incubators (RSI's) are used to establish these populations in designated sites using grayling derived from a genetically diverse, fluvial stock originating from the Big Hole River.
Efforts to reestablish grayling in historic waters were initiated in 1997. The initial suitability of restoration sites was assessed using criteria such as habitat availability and relative non-native trout abundances. Based on these and other criteria, the following list of restoration sites was chosen.
