<br />THE ENIGMA OF THE YELLOWFIN TROUT <br /> <br />ROBERT J. BEHNKE AND WILLIAM J. WILTZIUS <br /> <br />COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY <br />AND <br />COLORADO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE <br /> <br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br />A review of old angling and fisheries literature has un- <br /> <br />covered new information on the yellowfin trout of Twin Lakes. <br /> <br />The ultimate fate of the yellowfin trout remains unknown bu~ we <br /> <br />presume it is exinct. <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />In my monograph on western trouts (Behnke 1979) I concluded the yellow- <br /> <br />fin trout section with the following statement: <br />''It is not likely that any more will ever be known concerning the ycllow- <br /> <br />fin trout.
