It is hard to deny the beauty of cutthroat trout, especially in stream form. While I caught my first cuttie as a youth fishing the coastal waters of Oregon, I did not truly experience the stunning beauty of cutthroat trout in stream form until I moved to Nevada. Just wow!
As part of my effort to complete the California and Nevada native trout hunts, I began learning more about the diversity of cutthroat trout.
A wild, native Lahontan cutthroat trout caught in my favorite backyard creek.
My friend Jeff, knowing my love of these trout and my desire to complete the Western Native Trout Challenge, gave me a hard copy of Cutthroat Trout: Evolutionary Biology and Taxonomy, a special publication of the American Fisheries Society, edited by Patrick Trotter and others.
As any self-respecting cutthroat nerd would do, I immediately read it cover to cover.
This publication inspired me to write about native trout and more over at Trout Adventures. Enjoy!
