I know 2flyfish needs to post on this but let's have some cutthroat pics.

Here's a few from my Summer Vacation.....

Colorado Cutts.....
This one from Wolf Creek almost at the top of the pass


Here's one from another Drainage in Colorado


Joe holding this one FOASTWRN


Another from the East Hermosa headwaters


WestSlope Cutthroat from the Taylor Fork in Mt


Monster Yellowstone Cutthroats from the Lamar River valley

After 2 years of 200% snow packs and high water into August the Cutts grew to sizes that I have not seen before. Many 14-16" Cutts instead of 12-14" averages and I caught 18"+ Cutts every day. It was incredible !

I love catching Cutts

Wonderfull fish right there the first one just looks like a fishy place lol. I have tangled with snake river,rios, and green backs. Those Yellowstone cutts are butifull.

one of our fav cutt spot is Slough Creek in NW Yellowstone.
here are some pics-

1st Meadow and easy hike in and hike out day, The 2nd meadow, a tough hike in and out in 1 day, the 3rd meadow, you were definitely in some pristine water, with either a couple of overnight stays or a fast horse to do that.
This summer should be some kind of spectacular in Yellowstone.

Yea I have been wanting to venture that far north. Do you take bear spray?

As far as bears go, Robert, don't know what this year will bring but normally Grizzlies are prevalent in the Slough Creek drainage. Didn't go last year but in 2011 we encountered over 15 blacks and grizzlies in the NE part of the park in a week. We've been backpacking around there since the 70's and typically only saw any bear about once every 1-2 years.

Used to never carry spray but now always do ....

BTW Jimbo, that's me at 3rd Meadow, and it took a BIG fast horse to get me there.

Robert,
FYI, here's another shot of 3rd Meadow and Black we saw near Slough Creek Campground

still gunna be a few weeks till i ost u some cutts, but hopefully i will have some good pics

It is legal to carry a side arm in the park?
