Save the Paiute

While I have yet to add this species to my list (yet!), one of my fellow native trout enthusiasts has ask me to post this information.

Please do a little research to educate yourself on this very rare species and send your comments.
There is an open public comment period to the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed restoration of the Paiute cutthroat into Silver King Creek below Llewellyn Falls until May 10, 2010. I strongly recommend that everyone write in support of this as this will be the LAST chance to get our voices heard before the final decision comes down!
