An album of every fish I photographed, year by year.
Photo albums from various trips over the years.
I completed the Utah Cutthroat Slam twice in 2016. The Slam requires catching all four native cutthroat trout species of Utah — Bonneville, Bear River, Yellowstone, and Colorado — in their native ranges in a single season. Proceeds support cutthroat trout restoration projects across the state.
My colleagues Mike, Rulon, and I attempted the first slam in a single day, leaving at 6:15am and working through all four native ranges before dark. The Bonneville came first from a beaver pond, the Bear River followed in a brisk canyon stream, and we finished with the Yellowstone and Colorado further south. Mike and I each completed the slam; Rulon caught the largest fish of the day.
The second slam followed later that same year, and the whole experience ended up getting some outside coverage.
