The Sheepheaven Creek redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss spp.) is a species of fish in the Salmonidae family and a western subspecies of the McCloud River redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss stonei).[1] It is native to Sheepheaven Creek, Siskiyou County, California, United States.[2][3] Sheepheaven Creek redband were transplanted into Swamp Creek in 1972 and 1974 and into Trout Creek in 1977. They can now be found in both locations.[4] Sheepheaven Creek redband are found to be the most distinct among all other trout groups, meriting recognition as a new subspecies.[5][6][7] They have the fewest gill rakers of any western trout.[8]
