#151

I recently received my certificate for completing the California Heritage Trout Challenge. Of the individuals to complete the challenge, I am number 151.

The species I submitted for the CHTC, all in their native watersheds, were:

• Kern River Rainbow
• Little Kern Golden
• California Golden
• Lahontan Cutthroat
• Goose Lake Redband
• Warner Lakes Redband

I also caught the McCloud River Redband, but I will save that one in case I catch the remaining species in the challenge.

This certificate will look nice with my Wyoming Cuttslam certificate.

The species I submitted for the Wyoming Cuttslam, all in their native watersheds, were:

• Yellowstone Cutthroat
• Bear River (Bonneville) Cutthroat
• Snake River Cutthroat
• Colorado River Cutthroat

Also hanging with the two official certificates will be my "unofficial", self-created, Colorado Cuttslam.

The three native species from Colorado, all in their native watersheds:

• Greenback Cutthroat
• Colorado River Cutthroat
• Rio Grande Cutthroat

Happy New Year and here's hoping 2011 brings a Wyoming and Colorado Cuttslam for my son.
