Re: NFC: Re: Re: Apache Trout on TV


green cutthroat (Co state fish) are doing great--they even have a catch & 
release program on them now.  Of course, the afore mentioned whirling 
disease is a problem with that program too.  Now the focus is shifting to 
endangered species like squawfish (sorry, can't remember what they just 
renamed them because 'squaqfish' wasn't politically correct), chub, etc.
