The Search for the "Extinct" Alvord Cutthroat Trout

Trout Unlimited’s Science Advisor to the Wild Steelhead Initiative and the Creator of the Native Trout Fly Fishing website will recap the history and describe the ongoing quest to find living examples of the Alvord Cutthroat Trout. Thought to be lost to hybridization in the 1920s, recent genetic clues and remote basin surveys have reignited hope. Discover how modern genomics and old-fashioned exploration are teaming up along the Oregon-Nevada border to attempt to fill in the gaps in scientific knowledge about this lost trout lineage or maybe even result in a historic biological rediscovery. 

 

This is a great opportunity to meet old and new friends, fellow anglers and conservationists, as well as to learn a thing or two about Oak Brook TU's exciting projects, advocacy efforts, educational events and fishing trips.
