318:. Although Lahontan cutthroats are heavily spotted, the isolated sub-population lost virtually all spotting, perhaps because spots made fish more visible and susceptible to predation in the ultra-clear and shallow mountain stream. Paiute cutthroats are also notable for a purple coloration, whereas Lahontan cutthroats have bronze coloration. The Paiute strain must have adapted to a diet mainly of insects and become less migratory since juvenile fish swimming downstream in search of larger waters would have passed below downstream barriers and left the isolated gene pool.

In the early 1990s, the California Department of Fish and Game reduced hybridization by chemically treating stream segments with higher levels of introgression and transplanting Paiute cutthroats from other stream segments thought to be less hybridized. These populations would then be isolated and monitored by the California Department of Fish and Game.

Although restoration plans were delayed by lawsuits concerned about the impact of rotenone on other stream inhabitants, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service decided in May, 2010 to proceed with poisoning to eradicate non-native and hybrid trout in Silver King Creek from Llewellyn Falls downstream to

Now, Paiute cutthroats occupy 37.8 km of stream space in five different drainages. The Silver King Creek
Drainage is found in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness where the Paiute cutthroats occupy 11.9 km of stream space, including the middle portion of the Silver King Creek which is its natural

Historically, Paiute cutthroats occupied only 17.8 km of stream space in the Silver King Creek drainage from the
Llewellyn Falls to the Silver King Canyon. During this time, they were also found in three tributaries: Tamarack Creek, Tamarack Lake Creek, and the lower parts of Coyote Valley

historical range. Nonnative rainbow trout occupied this space until they were removed between 2013 and 2015 with piscicide. On
September 18, 2019, 30 Paiute cutthroats were translocated there from Coyote Creek, marking the first time since the 1900s that they were in their historical range.

Though the
Lahontan cutthroats and the Paiute cutthroats, are very similar subspecies, they are genetic distinctions between the two, as is seen through their spots on their body or lack thereof for the Paiute cutthroats. It is believed that the Paiute cutthroats separated from the Lahontan

sheepherders began grazing sheep along upper Silver King Creek in the 1800s. They noticed the unusual trout and by 1912 had transplanted them above
Llewellyn Falls which had originally been the upper limit. This is fortunate because by 1924 hybrids with ordinary Lahontan cutthroat and

Angling is prohibited in most streams where Paiute cutthroats predominate, however future plans include downstream expansion of Paiute cutthroat range by removing other trout and installing barriers.
326:
Similar to other salmonids, Paiute cutthroats require clear, cold, and oxygenated waters and stream pools with an abundance of vegetation for reproduction purposes and for refuge from the winter.

Subsequent studies have found some degree of hybridization in virtually all populations of Paiute cutthroats, especially between 1930 and 1994 with non-native fish like the
