The purpose of stocking these big brood stock is to highlight this magnificent native trout that is found ONLY in the Gila Mountains of NM and AZ! This amazing fish is actually in the same family as Pacific salmon. It was once an anadromous fish that ran out of the Pacific ocean to spawn in NM and eventually became a land locked species as the Gila region dried up afte

Gila trout are Arizona/New Mexico native trout that were once listed as “endangered” but have now moved to “threatened” thanks to conservation efforts. #troutfishing #troutfish #fishing | Take Me Fishing
