Brigham Young, Big game, and Beehives might come to mind when thinking about the state with the great salt lake. Jazz, Joseph, and Zion are sure to be close seconds.  With the iconic four corners of the 45th state in the union, folks find it easy to put Utah in a box, but when I close my eyes and recall time spent in this interesting state, all I can see are the looming mountain scapes divided by endless corridors of rushing water. Positioned at the convergence of several major river drainages and smack dab in the middle of the mighty rockies, the flora and fauna found in the continuously changing biomes are a clear reflection of the diversity present across the landscape.

With my affinity for flies, I may hold a bit of bias, but I think the best way to witness this natural medley, is by hitting the trail and following the flow. Easily recognizable trout will swim in these brooks, and come in every shade under the rainbow. They may be eager to greet your line, but these foreign fish will not be the focus this time. From afar these brief blurs of blushing red and subtle olive might be hard to distinguish. But if your cast is keen, you can bear witness to the stark differences and temperaments of each of the native cutthroat species that inhabit Utahs wild waters.

The native range of Bonneville, Bear, Colorado, and Yellowstone cutthroat trout all converge within the state lines, and create an amazing opportunity for any angler willing to explore. Despite difficult spring conditions, my aim is to visit all the different drainages complete the Utah Cutthroat Slam over the next few days. Most of all my goal is to learn a thing or two along the way and document these amazing fish.

I am happy you decided to watch this video, and I hope you enjoy this native trout story.
