The Caldera Project is specifically designed to address the questions of what the status of the wild trout fishery is and why, what could be done to change that situation, and what the quality of the angling experience is in the Caldera. In addressing these questions we will also examine and summarize the body of existing research that has been conducted in the Caldera to date.

Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Hatch

After a successful hatch of Rainbow Trout through the Trout in the Classroom project, HFF is looking to enhance the program with Idaho's state fish, the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. Yellowstone Cutthroat are a much more sensitive species to hatch than Rainbow Trout, so a trial hatch is currently being conducted at the foundation. So far the experiment has been a success, with the majority of the eggs hatching into tiny alevins. HFF has its fingers crossed for continued success in this ongoing process, updates soon to follow!
