A reservoir in Colorado is undergoing a restoration project that’ll bring native Rio Grande cutthroat trout back, but all other fish will be killed.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) announced on Thursday, July 13, that the Rito Hondo Reservoir west of Creede, a statutory town in Mineral County, has been lowered for dam repair work and an eventual rotenone treatment that will "remove non-native brook trout."
