Fish Are Our Friends, Not Food

• The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and the Piute
  Sculpin are fish that have always lived in
  Sagehen Creek.
• The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout became an endangered
  fish because of over fishing and because of more
  aggressive fish taking over the streams.
• Due to the Sculpins small size, they were never
  considered as game fish and therefore never over
  fished and never listed as endangered.
• The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and Piute Sculpin
  have similar needs even though they have
  experienced different histories. Thanks to
  re-introduction efforts, the Lahontan Cutthroat
  Trout and Piute Sculpin now find themselves
  living with one another again in Sagehen Creek.

• The Lahontan Cutthroat trout was the diet of
  Piutes and other Native tribes.
• Between 1873 and 1922 commercial fisheries took
  out 100,000-200,000 pounds of Lahontan Cutthroat
  Trout each year from Pyramid, Walker and Tahoe
  Lakes. In 1900, over 9600 pounds of the fish
  were taken out from the Truckee River alone.
• This native fish has disappeared from Lake Tahoe,
  but its making a comeback.
• Since 1963 the Lahontan Cutthroat trout has been
  re-introduced into more than 50 streams.
