Snake River Fine Spotted Cutts - cpierce - 08-09-2011 They may all be Yellowstone Cutthroats and have the same DNA, but I can't get over how different the fine spotted look from the large spotted. Most of the fine spotted cutthroats that I have caught have been somewhere in the upper Snake River or one of its tributaries. I was on a tributary of a tributary, and they were sure fun. They were hitting my dry flies like a donut at weight watchers! Here are a few pictures from the day. The majority of the fish were 8-10 inches. The stream was a fairly small one, clear and full, but not runoff full. I suspect that on regular water years by Aug it is probably half this size. It was a good fun size for today. And now some of the fish porn: One of the large ones for the day! Another one that was about this size had me scrambling to find him as I didn't know he was along for the ride when I started to backcast, and he landed in the grass behind me.... Good thing he flopped around a bunch, or I never would have found him!!
