![]() ![]() Good options for catching Bonneville Cutthroat are the Smiths Fork (on the Bridger-Teton National Forest) and Salt Creek (along US 89 between the Idaho Line and Salt River Pass). ![]() Where to Catch: The Bonneville Cutthroat will take Cutt-Slam anglers to extreme southwest Wyoming. In Wyoming, Bonneville Cutthroat Trout can be found in the Bear River drainage (near Evanston), and the Smiths and Thomas Forks of the Bear (near Cokeville). However, with the rediscovery of native populations and considerable restoration efforts by fisheries professional, today nearly 70,000 acres of lakes and 850 miles of streams are home to Bonneville Cutthroat Trout. Scientists once believed that pure strains of Bonneville Cutthroat were extinct. Species History: Bonneville Cutthroat Trout were historically found in the Bonneville Basin, including suitable habitat within portions of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada. That said, a “typical” Bonneville Cutthroat would have dark black spots (often more uniformly distributed across the body than with other cutthroat) with less concentration of spotting toward the tail than with other cutthroat in the Cutt-Slam. Spotting in all cutthroat is variable among populations and individuals. Species Description: The Bonneville Cutthroat is typically dark olive to brown on the dorsal (back) side with yellow to cream and grey on the lateral (sides) surface.
