In late July of 2022, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Jackson Region stocked 750 Snake River cutthroat trout into Mystery Lake in the Teton Wilderness. The 5-inch fish were packed into the remote lake on horseback.
The stocking of the fish is another step in restoring the lake to its native Snake River cutthroat trout. The restoration project began in 2016 with the removal of all non-native fish, primarily rainbow trout.
