For species like the Westslope Cutthroat Trout Oncorhnchus lewisi, preserving their pure genetic makeup A genetically pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout. However, Rainbow Trout are capable of interbreeding with Westslope Cutthroat Trout, producing what are Pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout in a mountain stream. An Alberta stream showcasing ideal habitat for pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

the headwater streams originating from the Porcupine Hills provided valuable coldwater habitat for Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout, but in recent years the trout seem to have vanished. Once teeming with Westslope Cutthroat trout, portions of Trout Creek within the Forest Reserve are no Trout Unlimited Canada (TUC) biologists planned to survey twelve sites on Trout Creek and its immediate While the trout are currently missing from Trout Creek, we hope that our efforts will lead toward the

Trout Creek is situated in the Porcupine Hills Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ) of Southwestern Alberta, and until recently, was home to a healthy population of Westslope Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus lewisi . Trout Creek represented a special population as it was one of the easternmost watersheds containing the Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis , which are both threats to the recovery and persistence of Westslope Cutthroat Trout in this watershed.

Mary River watershed; it is also home to threatened Bull Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout. While we did not capture any Bull Trout or Westslope Cutthroat Trout, we saw several trout in a large

These creeks are home to native Bull Trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) and Westslope Cutthroat Trout ( This Westslope Cutthroat Trout was found on the upstream section of the Whispering Pines East culvert All this means that if we want to protect and conserve the native, at-risk trout that live in the Whispering This project was financially supported by Alberta Environment and Protected Areas through the Native Trout

Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout populations are hanging on and need recovery action. Cutthroat Trout. Results of the genetic analysis showed that populations of Westslope Cutthroat Trout above and below Rainbow Trout hybridize readily with Westslope Cutthroat Trout making them a serious threat to the genetic integrity and survival of the species, while Brook Trout can compete with Cutthroat Trout, displacing

Reconnecting Canada: Project Update – Waiparous Creek, Alberta: Trout Unlimited Canada’s ongoing “ Reconnecting ) and Westslope Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi ), were found in both streams during electrofishing , especially the Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and samples were sent to the Flathead Biological Station Since Westslope Cutthroat Trout can interbreed with Rainbow Trout (which are not native to the area), many Cutthroat Trout streams in Alberta actually contain “Cutbow” hybrids.

Girardi Creek contains critical habitat for threatened native Westslope Cutthroat Trout. According to the provincial Westslope Cutthroat Trout Recovery Plan, the Girardi Creek population is one of only an estimated 51 populations of genetically pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout left in Alberta Trout. Cutthroat Trout in our landscape as it is likely not realistic to recover many of these lost populations

the project and determined that that the “adverse environmental effects on surface water quality and Westslope Cutthroat Trout and its habitat outweigh the positive economic impacts of the project and the project This is great news and we, at Trout Unlimited Canada, are pleased with this decision. The fact that all of Alberta’s stream-dwelling native trout are listed as “at-risk” under provincial

In Ontario and eastern Canada, our focus tends to be on Brook Trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis ) given Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi ), Bull Trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ), Arctic Grayling The Bow River is a world class Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout fishery.  Despite this stretch being within the historical range of Bull Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout, these ( Salmo trutta ) and Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ).

Temperature Monitoring: Maintaining Cold Water Environments is a Hot Topic In many parts of Canada, native trout In Alberta, for example, these declines have led to populations of Bull Trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) and Westslope Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi ) being listed as threatened while Athabasca Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) has been listed as endangered under the Federal Species at Risk 18° C it is unlikely that Bull Trout will continue to persist in that environment.

Trout Unlimited Canada is proud to announce its new identity as Freshwater Conservation Canada.
