Apparently the only place on earth that they live is in Arizona and have been brought back from the verge of extinction by concentrated conservation efforts. One on the plus side for Arizona fish and game and the White Mountain Apache Tribe!!
It’s a beautifully colored trout.!

I have no Idea. I have never seen one.
Apache trout
The Apache trout is difficult to catch simply because there aren’t very many of them left, and they’re only found in White Mountain lakes and streams on forest and reservation lands, per the Arizona Game and Fish Department. It’s the state’s official fish, and it’s endangered, which means you should probably make this a catch and release only fish — at least until the department starts to see returns on their active recovery and management plan to get the population numbers up.
Growing from between 6 and 24 inches, the department notes that artificial flies are best when hooking Apache trout, and the meat is delicious.

I too think it was a good question. Not having any fisheries experience in the south west, I preferred not to take a guess, but, well, at least I knew what it wasn’t.
Good job!
