The Apache Trout (Oncorhynchus apache) is native to Arizona in the streams of the White Mountain. This freshwater fish is easy to identify thanks to the medium-sized dark spots evenly spaced onto the dorsal side and tail fin and extending below the lateral line except for the belly. The back and top of its head is dark olive, but below the lower jaw are the yellow and gold color marks. The belly as well takes on a golden color. A small black spot may be seen on each side of the pupil. This makes each pupil appear to have a black stripe running from side to side.
Apache Trout have a total length between 6”-16” (15-41 cm) and body height of 1.2”-3.1” (3-8 cm). The typical weight of the Apache Trout is in the range of .44-6 lb (.2-2.7 kg). The maximum body length of the Apache trout is 24” (61 cm) with a height of 5.1” (13 cm). Apache Trout have lifespans between 3-6 years.
