Hybridization with non-native trout within the McDermitt Creek basin and loss of connected stream habitat within both the Willow-Whitehorse and McDermitt Creek basins are the primary threats to LCT. In addition, many LCT streams, including current and historic habitat, were drastically impacted by the Holloway fire in 2012. The BLM is interested in partnering with recipient(s) for the long term restoration and recovery efforts of LCT and its habitat.
