Great to see this native species of trout enhanced.

Over the last 3 weeks the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery has stocked 12,144 catchable Pilot Peak strain Lahontan cutthroat trout into Lake Tahoe at El Dorado Beach, Zephyr Cove Marina, and Kings Beach State Park. Stocking and updates will continue bi weekly throughout the summer at various publicly accessible locations in both California and Nevada. Approximately 25% of the trout stocked will be tagged with a T-bar anchor tag that has a unique ID and phone number on it. Anglers are encouraged to report their catch and help our biologists evaluate the success of the stocking along with the growth, survival and distribution of the fish. Thank you to the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Nevada Department of Wildlife, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the USDA Forest Service-Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit for the ongoing collaboration in this effort.

​Fun Facts:
-Lahontan cutthroat trout are the only trout native to Lake Tahoe.
-Lahontan cutthroat trout are the state fish of Nevada.
-Lahontan cutthroat trout are the largest inland cutthroat trout in the world.
