| Comments | By 1924 this species was established at this location. This populations is just upstream from the historic range which extended from the base of Llewellyn Falls 14.7 km to Silver King Canyon. Currently no Paiute cuttthroat trout exist in the historic range. In 1949, unauthorized introductions of Rainbow trout were made in this location which hybridize with Paiute cutthroat trout. In 1964 and 1976 chemical treatments were used unsuccessfully to wipe out the hybrids. Later in 1991-93, chemical treatments were used again, this time successfully and from 1994-98 Paiute trout were restocked from Fish Valley Creek and Coyote Canyon Creek. |
