Is there something particularly special about whiskey creek gila trout? I know that the species has been in bad shape in the past, and is recovering a bit now, but are the whiskey creek strain separated from other gila trout by say a waterfall, or some other natural barrier that makes them unique?

I can't answer that definitively, but that's the vibe I got from the video. I assume dozens of creeks get silt/ash choked to death in fires every year. For this much to be invested in the "Whiskey River lineage", there's got to be something extraordinary about them, I would think.
