I feel that's the case with browns personally. I have much more success with

Browns are very similar. Brown trout remind me a little of largemouth bass.

Like Browns, they kind of have a decision to make: max out at a reasonably big size or start eating bigger food sources

Pretty tough to beat native cutthroats in the Yellowstone and GTNP area.

Yellowstone Cutts are also very tasty. They tend to have pinkish meat like a

All trout have pink/orange flesh unless they are just out of a hatchery.

I have a buddy whose family owns an enormous amount of property in the Uintas. They have a species of cutthroat

Colorado River Cutthroat. Maybe the most beautiful of all North American Trout.

Where is this? I guide on the south slope of the Uintas

They're native throughout most of the Uintas except the Provo and Bear River

In terms of guiding, yes. In terms of catching I’m very equal opportunity.

The Apache and Gila Trout are very interesting fish. It was a joy to hold one.
