The Wyoming Cutt Slam: A Trouting Quest

The Wyoming Cutt Slam: A Trouting Quest:
"What do you get when you cross an adventurer, a lover of beautiful places and a fly fisherman? You end up with me, who some have called a Don Quixote of trout fishing. And perhaps they're right. Of one thing I'm sure, one of the perfect places to go questing is Wyoming in search of the state's four beautiful native subspecies of cutthroat trout. Stream Side Adventures calls it the Cutthroat Adventure. Back in 1996 Wyoming established the Cutt Slam program to recognize anglers who catch all four cutthroat subspecies. To date less than 500 certificates have been awarded. ..."
This is a shameless plug for an old friend, Norm Crisp, of Streamside Adventures as well as a plug for a long-held belief that catching native species in their historic ranges is far more satisfying that catching a trophy Brown trout thousands of miles from its European origins.
