Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout: Exquisite Explorer

Meet one of the few fish that's managed to cross America's Continental Divide: the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout! On this episode we explore the variation in ecology and morphology of this beautiful fish across its range, its history in Yellowstone National Park and efforts to move it by wagon and train, how its been impacted by nonnative trout species, where to catch it, and the value it holds within the Wind River Indian Reservation. We are joined by fish biologist Mike Mazur with our Lander Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office in Wyoming.
