Paiute Cutthroat were historically native only to a small section of the Silver King Creek in the Sierra Nevada in California. They had been wiped out of all of their native waters by a combination of overfishing, habitat degradation, and competition \/ hybridization with other introduced trout species by their Endangered status listing in 1966 - one of the first listed! Luckily for the Paiute trout, a few had been carried in buckets upstream above a natural barrier in 1912 by Basque shepherds. They would be extinct today if these shepherds had not inadvertently saved them in order to have a source of fresh fish in the Summer while grazing their flocks. Through a massive, long and somewhat controversial habitat restoration process, the Paiute trout were reintroduced back into their native waters in 2019.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monique Wales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49440974930179,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/4640\/6915\/files\/swimming-upstream-by-artist-monique-wales-turner-fine-art-9041112.jpg?v=1786646227","url":"https:\/\/turnerfineart.com\/products\/swimming-upstream","provider":"Turner Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
