The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi) is endemic to Lake Lahontan in northern Nevada. It prefers the slow, meandering cool waters in lakes, rivers, and streams. You can recognize it by the black spots evenly distributed on its body, which may be green, red, or silver. It has a trout shape and between the tail fin and dorsal fin is a small adipose fin. The dorsal fin, on the other hand, is positioned behind the middle of the back. Males are more colored than females, and during spawning, the fish show bright red colors on the gill cover and under the jaw.
