Cutthroat trout are a species of fish that thrives in the cold waters of North America's western regions. These distinctive trout have a wide distribution, ranging from British Columbia to California and as far east as Colorado. One of their most notable features is their bright orange or red slash-like markings along the jawline, giving them a unique appearance. Cutthroat trout are anadromous fish, meaning they migrate between freshwater and saltwater environments during different stages of their life cycle. In rivers and streams, cutthroat trout feed on a variety of aquatic insects and small invertebrates. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some individuals reaching lengths of up to 30 inches and weighing over 15 pounds.
