Species found here

Confirmed present independent of the stocking records above, not from a stocking event.

  • Arctic grayling : WGFD's spring/summer 2026 fishing forecast describes an abundant but stunted wild grayling population here; tiger trout were introduced in 2014 to prey on grayling and improve the fishery. (source)
