TIPS, TRICKS AND STORIES

Consider the Cutthroat

By Mike Hatch

Editor’s Note: We are digging into our archives to bring you some tips, tricks and stories from the past. This week, we’re going back to the May-June 1977 edition of New Mexico Wildlife for a look back at the struggles of our state fish, the Rio Grande cutthroat trout, which led to massive efforts by the Department and its partners in the decades that followed to restore the Rio Grande cutthroat to its native habitat.

Nearly a million years ago, the Rio Grande and Pecos drainages were the site of a great invasion by hordes of cutthroats! This, however, was not an invasion by torch and sword; it was biological. The invaders were indeed cutthroats, but only in the figurative sense. These newcomers were ancestral forms of one of New Mexico's native trout: the Rio Grande cutthroat.

It seems likely that these ancestral cutthroat trout entered the Rio Grande and Pecos drainages during a pluvial period of the Pleistocene epoch (see "Survival and the Native Fishes of New Mexico," New Mexico Wildlife, May-June 1976). The trout entered a unique environment with an unoccupied ecological niche, and they evolved rapidly to fill this vacancy. Subsequent geographic isolation prevented free flow of genetic material into the population, serving to reinforce the evolutionary process. As a result of this unique genetic programming, the Rio Grande cutthroat (Salmo clarki virginalis) came into being. A key constituent of the headwater streams of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, it has been long held in high regard – so much so that this state has adopted it as the official state fish.

The Rio Grande cutthroat is only one of many subspecies of cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki). Other representatives are known to have occurred naturally from Alaska to northern California and inland throughout the intermountain basins to the headwaters of the Saskatchewan, Missouri, Columbia (Snake River segment), South Platte, Arkansas and Colorado drainages (Reinitz, 1974).

Fisheries biologists throughout the western states have often turned to the many subspecific representatives of cutthroat in an attempt to develop innovative management programs. This is well illustrated by the activities of the N.M. Department of Game and Fish. For a considerable period of time, the department has engaged in an active management and culture program for Yellowstone cutthroat, an exotic to New Mexico, and more recently engaged in a stocking program for the Snake. River cutthroat, also an exotic to New Mexico. The latter is being stocked in so-called dead-end waters: that is, natural or biological barriers will prevent their moving into areas occupied by the natives.

Ironically, however, the department has been unable to establish equivalent programs for our own cutthroat. Past attempts to raise Rio Grande cutthroat in hatcheries evidenced little success, and they have since been abandoned. Fortunately, recent research has provided many needed answers, and the department has adjusted management activities so as to benefit the native cutthroats.

Research has shown that despite the evolutionary divergence, Rio Grande cutthroat are closely related to all western trout to the extent they can freely interbreed and produce fertile hybrids. (Behnke and Zarn, 1976). The likelihood such hybridization will occur is enhanced by the fact that all of them normally spawn in the spring and seek similar spawning sites. In primeval New Mexico this was not a problem; Rio Grande cutthroat were isolated and never came in contact with other trout. As stocking of exotic trout became a reality, the irretrievable losses suffered through genetic swamping became a real threat to the subspecies' prospects for survival. Hybridization invariably resulted in all cases where rainbow trout, an exotic to New Mexico, and exotic cutthroat got into streams occupied by Rio Grande cutthroat.

In addition to hybridization, a combination of habitat degradation, water misuse, and competition from a variety of exotic fish have severely restricted distribution and abundance of our native cutthroat. In 1973, the subspecies had declined to the point of being listed as threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition, Colorado presently includes the Rio Grande cutthroat on that state's endangered species list (Bill Wyler, personal communication). Responding to the sub- species' precarious situation, the N.M. Department of Game and Fish has avoided planting exotic trout in areas presently occupied by Rio Grande cutthroat or in areas that might serve as future restoration sites. Also, fishing closures and reduced bag limits protect the subspecies in several Sangre de Cristo Mountain streams.

Found only in New Mexico and Colorado, the subspecies in this state is presently confined to the Jemez, Sangre de Cristo and Sierra Blanca mountain ranges. Within the Jemez Mountains, occurrences are from the Rio Puerco, Rito Resumidero (including Oso Creek), Clear Creek, Canones Creek, Chihuahuenos Creek, Polvadera Creek and Peralta Creek. Within the upper Pecos drainage of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, occurrences are from the Rito de las Chimayosos, Rito del Padre, Rito Maestas, Little Blue Creek and Rito Azul. In the Rio Grande drainage of the Sangres, occurrences are from the Rito de la Olla (Pot Creek), Rio Chiquito and Rio Frijoles. Two trout populations in the Canadian drainage are suspected to be Rio Grande cutthroats, but their status is not definitely known at this time. There is also a population on the Mescalero Apache Reservation in the Sierra Blanca Mountains; however, this population was probably introduced. In Colorado, several populations exist in the San Luis Valley.

Interestingly, within the sub- species' present geographic distribution, there are two distinct phenotypic representatives as demonstrated by their spotting patterns. Those individuals which exist in the Rio Grande drainage have the subspecies' typical spotting pattern: abundant and moderate sized spots which are concentrated behind the dorsal fin. The individuals which occur in the Pecos drainage have fewer and larger spots which also concen- trate behind the dorsal fin-a pattern shared by the greenback cutthroat trout (a native of eastern Colorado and listed as Endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Experts in the field of taxonomy do not feel that this evidence warrants reclassifying the cutthroat in the Pecos drainage at this time. One thing is certain, more research is needed to account for all the variation within these groups.

Even though there is considerable variation between individuals with regard to the spotting pattern, a combination of features will normally serve to distinguish our native cutthroat from other trout. Taxonomy by process of elimination can be employed here because only four other trout may be encountered in the same general area that Rio Grande cutthroat occupy: rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout and Yellowstone cutthroat. The first three trout on this list can be eliminated immediately because they lack the red slash marks on each side of the throat beneath the lower jaws, a very prominent feature on Rio Grande cutthroat, so the process of elimination must continue.

The Yellowstone and Rio Grande cutthroat are taxonomically equal in that each are subspecific representatives of cutthroat; the differences between the two subspecies are very subtle. Once again, we must rely on the spotting pattern to help differentiate between these two trout. As mentioned, the Rio Grande cutthroat has moderate sized spots which are concentrated behind the dorsal fin. Contrasting this, the Yellowstone has larger spots which are more evenly distributed over the body. Several other features serve to differentiate between the two, but they are difficult features to perceive. If there is doubt about an identification, the problem should be dealt with by a professional.

In spite of the subspecies' present limited distribution, several self-sustaining populations exist which can support a limited. amount of fishing pressure. When first considering this, one's natural response would be to question the wisdom of promoting such an activity because of the potential for exploitation. However, "no rare or endangered trout has become so through over fishing; the fear that fishermen might exterminate a population is not based in fact" (Behnke and Zarn, 1976). But once a species or subspecies has declined to the point of being endangered, or in places where certain populations are particularly vulnerable – because of easy access, for instance – then sport harvest could have catastrophic effects and should not be permitted. Fortunately, most Rio Grande cutthroat populations are located in rugged and remote areas that provide them with a certain degree of built-in protection. In spite of this, our cutthroat continues to run a gauntlet of limiting factors, and its status may soon decline to Threatened or Endangered (as defined by the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973) unless the trend is reversed. If the status declines further, fishing for native cutthroat will likely become illegal throughout its range. Already, it is illegal to fish in the Rio Frijoles and Pot Creek above the fish barrier located one-quarter mile below their confluence.

Since the early 1960s, concern about the general quality of our environment has increased. Fisheries managers and fishermen share in this concern, and as a result we have seen greater emphasis on quality fishing programs. These programs have been manifested in management plans which rely on natural reproduction to sustain fishing. pressure, regulations which re- strict size and bag limits, and regulations which govern the types of lures used. Reception of these programs has been favorable, and the demand for similar programs soars. As an outgrowth of this, there is also a growing contingent of anglers who attach a higher recreational value to the opportunity to fish for a truly native trout than for a domestic or feral exotic. Several management agencies in New Mexico are now looking to the Rio Grande cutthroat to satisfy this increasing demand. 

Department fisheries biologists have conducted extensive studies of native cutthroat populations to determine where the subspecies is found and to insure its integrity.

As a sport fish, the Rio Grande cutthroat is very competitive with other western trout. In fact, when in the cutthroat's native habitat, other trout might be considered inferior. The real clincher is that our native cutthroat provides angling opportunity at virtually no expense because its populations are maintained by natural reproduction. It is hard to beat a deal like that these days!

Although the Rio Grande cutthroat is an elusive and challenging sport fish, most anglers find that catch rates are comparable if not somewhat better than for other trout species. Anglers will have the greatest success if they can use or simulate the food the cutthroat normally feeds upon largely invertebrates. However, the exact type it feeds upon will change with the season and the availability of the organism. It would pay to spend some time observing the types of insects that occur in an area, along with their relative abundance, so that your presentations can closely approximate natural conditions. In addition, the small, clear streams of our higher mountains make it more difficult to approach Rio Grande cutthroat without spooking the fish. When moving along these streams, the angler should move cautiously and, if possible, with the sun at his back to reduce the chance of alerting the cutthroat to his presence (fish have difficulty looking into the sun). When moving in this direction, though, he must be careful where he casts shadows.

Most headwater mountain streams Rio Grande cutthroat inhabits are fairly unproductive, and harsh climatic conditions only permit a short growing season.

The Rio Grande cutthroat takes three to four years to reach maturity. As a result, the cutthroat you catch will probably be moderate in size. Most keepers average only nine or ten inches in length – a rather admirable performance considering the limited growing conditions the fish faces. Rainbows and browns, noted for their large sizes and rapid growth rates, do not appreciably exceed Rio Grande cutthroats in their growth potential in these

streams. In fact, it has been my observation that exotics have a greater tendency to stunt in these situations than the native does.

In the interest of the Rio Grande cutthroat and the angler who pursues it, the idea of restoring the subspecies to a few streams within its historic range seems to have merit. Expanding its distribution would allow an equivalent expansion in the native trout fishery and would reduce the subspecies' vulnerability to such detrimental events as drought, fire, immigration of exotic fish, etc. Along with restoration activities, it is imperative that maintenance programs be initiated as soon as possible to insure the integrity of existing populations.

"Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free" (Leopold, 1948). In New Mexico, we are fortunate that we have a truly wild creature like the Rio Grande cutthroat; but we may lose it unless we are willing to plan and manage for its continuance. The mandate for management policies is for all of us to establish; isn't it time we considered the Rio Grande cutthroat?
