Bonneville Cutts are native in all waters that end up in the Great Salt Lake

Colorado River Cutts are native in that drainage. Mainly Eastern Utah

Snake River Cutts in that drainage. Only a few waters in Utah have these, up in Box Elder County

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