These two fish are Greenback
Cutthroat trout. These trout are a threatened species found in streams on the Colorado Front Range.
The top fish is displayed on
black walnut, and the bottom one is displayed on red oak. They are my most recent completions. I began to like the colors of the male cutthroat trout during breeding. I completed 5 of these and they are growing on me whenever I look at them. The other 3 are available at South Creek Limited in Lyons, Colorado. Size (upper):10" h x 12" l Size (lower):10" h x 16" l Price (per fish): $400 US. |

This fish is a Brook Trout,
commonly found in Colorado, displayed on red oak. These are not native and were
originally imported from the Eastern United States. They are
beautiful fish, but a strong competitor to our native cutthroat population. In some areas,
the state fishing regulations require fishermen to keep any Brook Trout caught in order to aid the recovery
of the native species. Size: 10" h x 12" l Price: $375 US. |
