Dangus Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 So did they wipe out rainbows in the stream system too then? Not familiar with the geography, but what's stopping the bows from coming back up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfisher Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 So did they wipe out rainbows in the stream system too then? Not familiar with the geography, but what's stopping the bows from coming back up? Probably a natural barrier? Must be one or more protecting Sawback since no rainbows are there. Rainbow Lake was stocked with rainbow, gene pool may be moving downstream only out of the lake if there is a barrier protecting it from upstream migration. The video left me with similar questions to yours. The bow and tributaries are full of rainbow. A recent study in the USA Rockies showed that there is less occurrence of hybridization in higher in elevation cutthroat populations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLeod Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The rainbows were eliminated downstream from the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Cool story. I wonder if the cutthroats in Sawback lake have been there since the last ice age or did someone did someone do some coffee can stocking a 100 years ago. Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Sawback Lake has naturally reproducing pure strain cutthroats, so they were not stocked. Also, Picklejar Lakes in Kananaskis has naturally reproducing pure strain Cutthroats, as well. There are a few other lakes in the province, also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
