Information about the Apache Trout:

The Apache Trout is a species of freshwater fish native to the clear, cool streams of the White Mountains in Arizona. It is one of two species of trout in the state of Arizona, with the other being the Gila Trout. They usually grow to anywhere between 6 and 24 inches (61 centimeters) weighing no more than 6 pounds. The Apache trout is native to the upper Salt River watershed (which includes the Black and White Rivers) and the upper Little Colorado River watershed. Due to habitat destruction and other environmental pressures – such as hybridization with the Rainbow Trout) the Apache Trout is considered critically endangered and conservation efforts are being made to assure the species does not go extinct. It is the state fish of Arizona.

Description

Fine art illustration of an Apache Trout (Oncorhynchus apache.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Apache Trout was completed on 5.18.2012. This is the first of many North American trout species I’ll be drawing for the “50 States” project (illustrating all official state animals of the US.) There weren’t any really good reference photos I could find online, so I had to use a few different images and reference some existing drawings to get the anatomy right – which I hope I did. This drawing was created on “Endangered Species Day” which seems appropriate, as this trout is considered critically endangered.
