The Klamath Basin is a large watershed that encompasses parts of southern Oregon and northern California. It is home to a diverse array of fish species, including the Klamath River Basin redband trout, the Lost River sucker, and the shortnose sucker. The Klamath Basin is also home to the endangered coho salmon and steelhead trout.
Currently, remaining populations of shortnose sucker are found in the upper Klamath River and Lost River basins. In southern Oregon, this includes Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Ewauna. In northern California, they can be found in Gerber Reservoir and within the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complex. 📸https://www.fws.gov/species/short-nose-sucker-chasmistes-brevirostris
