The park is at the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork. The Bitterroot confluence is about 5 miles downstream. Previously the guidance downstream of Missoula was to not eat pike and limit consumption of other species. The shutdown paper mill has settling ponds adjacent to the river and they're a new concern. Before the dam was removed there was an annual pickerel derby but even then the prevailing wisdom was to not eat the fish. Before the dam was removed the area was poisoned since they didn't want pickerel downstream. For context, the Blackfoot was the setting for the film 'A River Runs Through It', sort of. Like many movies the real Blackfoot isn't very accessible and it was filmed elsewhere and the trout were radio controlled. There are other geographic impossibilities but the movie was well received. Luckily the Blackfoot never had any mining or industry to pollute it.
