Fish and Wildlife Service believed we could recover them our way, Mullins said. Mullins believes they will make an excellent sportfish. "This fish grows well under extreme conditions, Mullins said. They are native to this area, evolving with the high elevation and weather conditions found here. Colorado cuts can also grow fairly large and during the breeding season are extremely colorful, so it will be a good sport fish. By bringing them into the hatchery system and stocking lakes that we haven't stocked for 10 years or more, we are bringing more lakes on line for fishing. Anglers shouldn't get too excited yet, however. It will be a few years before they are large enough to catch, Mullins said. When we stock from the air we use fingerling about two inches long. This means the fish will need a couple of years at least before they are large enough to catch." The fisheries biologists aren't giving out the names of the lakes yet but did say if you go far enough off the beaten track, you have a good chance to find a lake with pure strain Colorado River cutthroat trout.
