family Salmonidae native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean,
Rocky Mountains and Great Basin in North America. Cutthroat trout are
popular gamefish, especially among anglers who enjoy fly fishing. The
common name "cutthroat" refers to the distinctive red coloration on the
underside of the lower jaw. The specific name clarki was given to honor
explorer William Clark, coleader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Cutthroat trout usually inhabit and spawn in small to moderately large,
clear, well-oxygenated, shallow rivers with gravel bottoms. They also
reproduce in clear, cold, moderately deep lakes. They are native to the
alluvial or freestone streams that are typical tributaries of the
Pacific basin, Great Basin and Rocky Mountains. Cutthroat trout spawn in
the spring and may inadvertently but naturally hybridize with rainbow
trout, producing fertile cutbows. Several subspecies of cutthroat trout
are currently listed as threatened due to habitat loss and the
introduction of non-native species. The cutthroat trout type species and
several subspecies are the official state fish of seven western U.S.
states.
