Montana, however, does not stock its streams; authorities suspect the Madison may have become infested when some angler unwittingly dumped infected rainbows into it. The spores can also be carried from stream to stream by boats, outboard motors and even mud on the soles...

For streams like the Colorado and the Madison, where the wild-rainbow population is in free fall, the hope is that it may not be too late...
