The lowest section of Lolo Creek between U.S. Highway 93 and the confluence with the Bitterroot River has gone dry, killing hundreds of fish. Beaver dams were the only places where fish and frogs were still able to live. Minks and other animals were feasting on brown trout, rainbow trout, whitefish, and crayfish.
