RIO GRANDE TROUT

(Salmo spilurus)

The Rio Grande trout, which is also a cutthroat, has a very limited

distribution within the territorial scope of this work. It is found in

the streams of the eastern slope of the Sierra Madre Mountains of

Chihuahua, Mexico. Its head is shorter and more rounded than the other

species of the cutthroat, with a mouth also very large. The spots are

principally confined to the latter half of the body and most profuse on

the tail.
