Additional Description: Captions: (on the right, top to bottom)
Westslope Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhymchus clarkia lewisii)
Westslope cutthroat trout are quick to stick, and easier to catch than rainbow and brown trout. Anglers are required to release any fish they catch to ensure the species' survival.
Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mukiss)
Introduced rainbow trout hybrid with the westslope cutthroat trout, making it difficult to conserve the natives.
Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
Introduced brook trout out-compete young westslope cutthroat trout for food, and have caused local extinctions of the native species.
