Abstract

The Colorado River cutthroat trout historically occupied portions of the Colorado River drainage in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico (Behnke 1992). Though it is now restricted to headwater streams and lakes, its original distribution probably included portions of larger streams, such as the Green (Simon 1935), Yampa, White, Colorado, and San Juan rivers.
