Recent genetic testing of trout in Beaver Creek indicates that this stream contains a pure greenback cutthroat trout population. Because greenbacks are currently listed as a "threatened species" under the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, fishing can only be allowed on a catch-and-release basis. This change is effective May 1, 2009 and will remain in effect until January 1, 2010.
