    Idaho, Nevada reservoir trout found with elevated mercury levels

    Higher-than-normal mercury levels were documented in rainbow trout caught in Lake Billy Shaw, Sheep Creek Reservoir and Mountain View Reservoir on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, as well as the Wildhorse Reservoir nearby.
