Jason and Helen and TU-kudos for being there for caring about these amazing fish. Hard to see the loss of Walker Lake and Hope remains it could once again rise to an elevation where native fish would thrive. Maintaining genetic diversity of these populations is so important.

Thk u for your hard work and dedication

Yes thank you for all the hard work. Lots of childhood memories camping and fishing at Lahontan Lake in early 80s.

I can’t wait!

We need more of this

So cool great work, beautiful landscape amazing fish!

Yes thankyou for your hard work. Simply beautiful I really wish that people everywhere could just simply practice catch-and-release with this beautiful specie "the trout"

Lmfao do you know how many fish they kill off and eradicate ever year and in the years past to make space for these LCT and keep the strains pure. They are saints? but also kill hundreds of thousands of fish every year? I believe LCT should be safe and have their own waters but I don’t think that California and trout unlimited needs to kill off so many fish and open up so much water for the LCT. Trophy Brook lakes have gotten completely wiped out by electro fishing and being killed.

Do you mean all trout? Do you realize how many Rainbow, Brown and Brook trout there are? Many are not even native to their range with Rainbow or Brook trout being planted and out breeding Native Cutthroat or Brown from Europe out competing native Brookies.

@@dougbutabi5085 I get what your saying but Brookies outside their native region often breed like rabbits and become stunted, destroying whole aquatic ecosystems, how are they that much different lets say than carp? The fact is these LCT are the native fish and were exterminated by things like planting Brook and Rainbow trout where they did belong. In the grand scheme of things LCT have a tiny geographic range in comparison to the other trout species, is giving them back what little was theirs so much to ask?

Will we be able to watch this after the live showing?

Cool video! If Planners cut a river path from Rye Patch Reservoir to Pyramid Lake (Humboldt river) would it benefit the fish?

Interesting thought...But there are so many issues that would need to be addressed in restoring the Humboldt before that could begin to be considered beneficial, and at what cost to the wetland areas of the Humboldt sink and all the area affected by the construction of a massive waterway. It is likely that all the water would be lost to seepage and evaporation?

They "exist in less than 10% of their historic range" because giant lake Lahontan, which extended into both Oregon and California at its peak, is gone, lets be honest here. Lohontan trout are in great shape compared to what they were, decades ago it was assumed they were extinct by some. Didn't Walker lake nearly dry up? Saying "there wasn't many champions for this fish" is absolute BS, a huge effort has been put into these fish for decades by many professionals and volunteers, when people make untrue hyperbolic statements like that you diminish the contributions of all those MANY people who did work to save this fish, untrue statements like that reflect poorly on Trout Unlimited.

10% refers to 10% of the lakes and streams where they existed long after Lake Lahontan was gone. The state of these fish might be better in Pyramid Lake where they are supported by a hatchery but across their range as a whole they are not doing well.

Uhm there are THOUSANDS in Pyramid Lake sooooo

I've met Nick on the water and he is a good guy, but I can't help but feel like his perspective is a bit skewed. I can't blame him much. I once felt the same, but that changed once I was introduced to the big picture and learned what challenges these fish face and that they are virtually all caused by men, in many by fishermen.

When you plant non native species they often destroy the native environment, look at carp some people like to fish for them and planted them and they have destroyed whole ecosystems, sorry but it is not just about what you want.

@@livingbetter7363 I agree but much of the LCT issues were caused by the end of the Ice Age and giant Lake Lahontan drying up leaving them isolated in a very hostile desert environment. The destruction of the Pyramid Lake population by man has been rectified thankfully.

I’m all for saving LCT and opening up water for them. But the hundreds of thousands of fish you have killed/eradicated to make space for these LCT is sickening

Really Nick!? Cause you you sure go out of your way to catch LCT. Those fish still exist in more than 90 percent of waters originally inhabited by LCT, meanwhile LCT only have a handful (around 5%) of their native populations remaining. If you spent one week working with TU's LCT field crew or any of the Fed/State agencies you would realize how silly your comments really are. If you have a hard time finding a place to catch a brook, rainbow, or brown, that is entirely on you.
