The Greenbacks' range was almost entirely in Colorado. I think it's
pretty cool that they've gone from being "extinct" to having fishable
populations during the time I've lived in Colorado. There are now viable
populations in a number of watersheds in Colorado, but the most
extensive reintroductions have been in RMNP. I have a number of short
backpack trips planned for this Summer to fish for them in some of the
Alpine lakes.

One of my potential summer trips is out your way. I'll send word if that
comes to be. One of the scenarios includes some time due west of you, north
of the RMNP.

Here's a couple places I've caught them:

Very nice.

The introduction of the Rainbow more than any other
factor has lead to the demise of the Cutts.

It was my understanding, backed up in the movie, that our beloved brookies
did a number on the cutthroats too. Never thought much about it but the
fall spawn of the brookies means the fingerlings are mighty hungry come
spring when the cutts spawn- and those newly spawned cutts become breakfast
for the brookies.

I'm glad they included Bob Behnke in the movie. He's an interesting man,
very unprepossessing, easy to talk to, and obviously a central figure in the
reinvigoration of cutthroat trout.
