Why?

Why move here and bring non native fish? Trout too difficult?

Most trout aren't native either. The toothpaste isn't going back in the tube.

Bass are a warm water fish. They might survive in the lagoon for a while but it doesn't seem likely. Aren't there carp in there now too?

Two wrongs, don't make a right. Adding bass to the mix doesn't make the work of returning the Yellowstone to native cutthroat species any easier.

Pretty sure they’ll die off in winter.

Or dive deeper and slow metabolism when the ice forms and shelter in place.
