Apache Trout

Tribal fisheries biologist Tim Gatewood (left), tribal fisheries tech Matt Rustin (center) and volunteer Fernando Nosie electro-fish Ord Creek while surveying the Apache trout population on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The Apache trout, the state fish and one of two trout native to Arizona (the Gila is the other), have recovered enough to warrant downgrading from endangered species to threatened and could soon become the first fish ever removed from the list without going extinct.
