Yellowfin Cutthroat Trout
Where to find them:
Yellowfin Cutthroat were collected in the late 19th century from Twin Lakes in Colorado. Shortly thereafter, rainbows were introduced and the fish went extinct. According to Robert Behnke, a few were cultured before the species went extinct and apparently sent to Europe where a few might still exist today. It's as good an excuse for going to France as I've ever seen.
