I thought that Yellowstone cutts are only native to the Yellowstone River

They are native to the north slope of the Raft River range in Box Elder County

The Snake River Fine Spotted Cutt is a different subspecies

They’re very closely related and cover basically the same area. Differentiation seems to have occurred because SR cutts

Which creek did you hit to get the Yellowstone Cutt?
Kavorka

I didn’t know they were even in clear creek. But I got mine out of Johnson creek
Tuskaloosa Cougar

Lower Clear Creek is just rainbows and hybrids. Gotta go up higher for pure cutts.
