Apache Trout, Gila Trout

This year, the Apache Trout has been removed from the endangered species list, a significant milestone for this critically endangered species.
The Apache trout (Oncorhynchus apache) is a freshwater fish belonging to the salmon family (Salmonidae). Native to Arizona, it is renowned for its vibrant coloration and its preference for cold, clear mountain streams and lakes. As one of the Pacific trouts, it typically inhabits the western regions of North America. Conservation efforts have played a crucial role in its preservation, addressing challenges such as habitat loss and environmental changes. Anthony Rubeo Outdoors
