Rare California Trout Returns To Native Sierra Nevada Habitat Los angeles (ap) — for the first time in nearly a century, a rare california trout species is swimming in a mountain creek that is its native habitat, marking a major milestone that conservationists hope will lead to a thriving population and removal of its threatened status. The california golden trout’s endemic range is within the kern river watershed’s tiny headwater streams flowing through high elevation meadows in the southern sierra nevada mountains.
