No- never caught a Cuttie in Utah.

Sure is

letthewookieewin

Yeah, In my opinion it’s the best you can go with for a net. Pricey, but worth

Only Bonneville and Green River are native to Utah right? Where have they

Food Snob

Bonneveille, which are further divided by drainage, Colorado River

7/20/21 10:41pm

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

Food Snob

7/20/21 10:43pm

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

Backcountry

7/20/21 10:46pm

The sawtooth mountains raft river/tributaries is the claim

Tuskaloosa Cougar

7/20/21 10:48pm

Yeah I thought those were called Snake River cutts as the Yellowstone cutts are

Food Snob

7/20/21 10:51pm

The Snake River Fine Spotted Cutt is a different subspecies

Backcountry

7/20/21 10:52pm

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

letthewookieewin

7/20/21 11:26pm

Wait, so what are the Cutts in the Yellowstone River drainage called?

Food Snob

7/21/21 7:00am

That’s the Yellowstone cutthroat range. They are not in the Sawtooths. Those are westslope

letthewookieewin

7/21/21 7:24am

How did it taste?

Garn

7/20/21 10:45pm

Almost as good as my Paiute Cutthroat from a few weeks ago.

Backcountry

7/20/21 10:47pm

How did it taste? It went right back into the water after I got my pic with it

Tuskaloosa Cougar

7/20/21 11:00pm

Which creek did you hit to get the Yellowstone Cutt?

Kavorka

7/20/21 10:48pm

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

Tuskaloosa Cougar

7/20/21 10:54pm

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

Brisco

Golden trout can be such a pain. I had them bumping my flies but never fully commit two weeks ago

letthewookieewin

They are crazy finicky. Caught a few here in CA a few weeks ago but they are
