History

Gila trout, Rio Grand cutthroat trout, and Apache trout are the only native trout species that occupy streams in Arizona and New Mexico. Gila trout is the only native trout species that occurs in both states. All of these native trout have experienced declines in their numbers and rang due to human activities. … in addition uncontrolled fishing during pioneer settlement depleted local populations. Current drainage that Gila trout can be found in is the East Fork Gila River and West Fork Gila River.
