The Greenback Cutthroat was declared extinct in 1937 and later found in one small stream known as Bear Creek in Colorado. The species was put on life support as the Colorado Park and Wildlife attempted to bring the species back to life. After years of work from both the CWP and other volunteers (such as Trout Unlimited) the Greenback Cutthroat can now be caught in various locations across Colorado. We were able to find one of those locations thanks to my buddy Matt Sandor and had quite a bit of luck. The species is still listed as Threatened on the endangered species act and due to the delicate nature of these fish I have kept the location private. If you have any serious inquiries my DM's are open on the Instagram linked to the YouTube channel.
