Fish Creek, a vital trout stream in Teton County, Wyoming, has experienced significant ecological decline over the past few decades, with trout populations falling by over 50% 1. Its Recreational designated use was listed as impaired over the entire length in 2020 due to exceedances of Wyoming’s E. coli criteria. The Aquatic Life Other than Fish, Cold Water Fish, and Nongame Fish designated uses between Teton Village and Wilson are listed as impaired due to nutrients in the 2022/2024 Integrated 305(b) and 303(d) Report 2. Teton Conservation District (TCD) is collaborating with Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) to develop an Advance Restoration Plan to address both impairments with a tentative completion date in 2026.
