They don't fight as well as a rainbow, but then, what does? They were downlisted a number of years ago from endangered to threatened, and might soon be downlisted yet again.
The White Mt. Apache Tribe and AZ G&F Dept. have done a pretty good job of saving this species. They can now be found in a number of lakes and streams, both on and off the reservation. Large fish of 18" - 28" are stocked in a number of locations. The one in hand was about 18". It was caught in a small spring creek with special regs, including C&R this time of year.
