Not long ago they found an original strain of Lahotan's on Pilot peak Nv. in a small stream in the far Nortweast corner of the state,
I've read about this. Someone did some research and found that the old railroad had some stops on Pyramid Lake, as well as a pond near Wendover, where the steam locomotives would get fresh supplies of water. Supposedly the railroad would dump the remaining "old" water from Pyramid Lake that hadn't been used on their way east right at the Pilot Peak stop and fill up with a fresh supply of water. When filling up at Pyramid Lake, they're assuming some Lahontan cutthroat fry hitched a ride. I am guessing the water source pond near Wendover that the railroad used was connected to the creek that they somewhat recently found the pure strain trout in. Early aquatic hitchhikers I guess.
I believe I read about it at a interpretative display at a motel or maybe a casino in Wendover. I am sure I had been drinking, else I'd remember more about it.
