Prospect Lake was part of the Upper Boulder Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout restoration effort and from 2007 to 2009 gill nets were used to remove rainbow trout. Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout were stocked until 2012 when they became self-sustaining. In 2015, 11 of the 36 fish sample was obtained by angling for 4 hours. In 2020 several small YCT were angled from the pond in the outlet
