It made me kind of wonder where we all stood in our pursuit of this fine game fish. So, from the list below how many of these have you caught. I've expanded the list a little to respect the variety of western species. If I can figure out how to set it up it would also be nice to do a poll to see how the percantages work out per species, but that requires multiple choices. Here we go. Trout Species Brook Brown Rainbow Steelhead Redband Golden Gila Apache Lake Trout Bull Trout Dolly Varden Lahontan Cutthroat Bonneville Cutthroat Yellowstone Cutthroat Coastal Cutthroat Rio Grande Cutthroat Snake River Cutthroat Greenback Cutthroat Colorado River Cutthroat Westslope Cutthroat Where are you on the Cycle? (Result) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Last Edited By: NevadaK 08/01/08 21:24:58. Edited 1 time.

(a close cousin to the Trout species... along with Dolly Varden, Lake Trout, and Bull Trout - all Char.) but who's counting?... (It's actually the most prized "trout" to catch for me, right behind Rainbow...) I stand at 4 in the poll, BTW caught in North-Eastern waters: Brook Brown Rainbow caught in Colorado: Cutthroat (on worms, before I was a Fly Fisherman. Does that count?) -- CoreyL Last Edited By: corlay 08/01/08 11:23:48. Edited 3 times.

Brook, Brown, Rainbow, Steelhead, Redband, Lake Trout, Bull Trout, Dolly Varden, Lahontan (Transplanted to Mann Lake in Southeastern Oregon), Yellowstone Cuts, Coastal Cuts and Westslope Cuts. Not a bad bunch.

I did the best I could do with the tools I gots. FWIW i really wanted to do a poll that also showed the species of trout people had caught too. Thanks for the reply. K Oh, as far the title I renamed it. Last Edited By: NevadaK 08/01/08 21:25:37. Edited 1 times.

Even though this is a lower 48 game, there are still five of the species in South Central Alaska, although I'm not sure which cutthroat are in the area.

Guess I need to broaden my fishing geography. For me, it's Browns, Brookies, Rainbows, Lakers and Yellowstone Cutthroats. Lots of landlocked salmon too here in northern NE, but I guess they don't count.

Appalachian Strain Brookies. If ya'll get to count all those cuts, I should get to count my little native brookies too! BTW, if we're counting char, can I count seatrout too?

That's okay with me as I don't keep scores, or make lists. Since I grew up in Colorado I've gone after what's been available here for the past 60 years. The most treasured angling experience I continue to enjoy has nothing to do with what most fly fishers would consider worthy: I have knowledge of an original population of greenback trout, not reinroduced during our greenback recovery program, or any of that. Truly native. A-grade on the Binn's scale, no hybridization. You can catch greenbacks all over Creation out here now, but unless you're on one or two obscure little creeks you're catching fish from a reintroduced population; and, in a number cases where they never existed originally. The ones I'm referring to have just been up there all along. These funny little trout are worth all the big browns and rainbows I've ever caught. I've never really felt the need to travel, so, by most people's standards, my "list" is quite short. After so many years of fishing my interests have become fairly concentrated and arcane, largely having to do with the small and forgotten aspects of the sport.

I enjoy catching trout, but for me I'm happy standing in running water surrounded by mountains, trees and wildlife. (Something Freudian about that I'm sure.) I've been lucky enough to live and fish the same area that Laramie does and have gazed in wonder at what our litttle bit of heaven has to offer without the need to travel or keep track.

But then folks would probably want West Virginia golden trout in there or Pennsylvania palomino trout. I have caught a few them including a whole bunch of the ones in the list. I'm fortunate to have fished a lot of diverse waters, though.
