This was my first Snake River Fine-Spotted Cutthroat. It's probably a stocker, and no trout are native to this river drainage (which disappeared into aquifers in the desert, even before irrigation took the water), but it's still fun to add another subspecies to my list. From the East Fork Big Lost River in Idaho.
See many more fly fishing, trout stream, and stream insect pictures on the Troutnut.com homepage and discussion forum.
