Talk:Yellowstone cutthroat trout

I'm not sure who named the subspecies in the article...right now it sates that Jordan & Gilbert ex Bendire, 1883 did, but I am sure that's incorrect.--MONGO 05:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Range is greater than reported.

It includes the Snake River above Twin Falls in Idaho, and a few tributaries of the Snake in northeastern Nevada. 76.80.26.121 22:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you have a reference for that? If so, please update.--MONGO 06:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

State fish of Montana

There was an edit to change the state fish of Montana from the westslope/blackspotted cutthroat (O. c. lewisi) to the Yellowstone cutthroat trout (O. c. bouvieri). I found the state law which designated the state fish as the blackspotted cutthroat here. --BlueCanoe (talk) 02:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

The Cutthroat Trout is the Montana State Fish. Not merely the Westslope subspecies or the Yellowstone subspecies.

1-1-507. State fish. The blackspotted cutthroat trout, Salmo clarki, is the official Montana state fish.

You'll note the scientific name is Salmo clarki (now Oncorhynchus clarki) and does not specify any specific subspecies. Both the Westslope and Yellowstone cutts are prevalent in Montana.--Mike Cline (talk) 13:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
