  2. Dave...nice site and I am extremely envious of your oncorhynchus clarkii seleniris. I just wonder if the cutthroat you list as a finespotted spotted cutthroat is truly a finespotted. The Greys River does overlap with yellowstone cutthroat and the fish depicted appears to be more a yellowstone in spotting or at best, a hybrid. My experience with finespotted cutts is their spots are generally over the entire body and more profuse and fine.....just a thought. Also, and this is nitpicking, but I thought you might have sought a fluvial grayling in the upper Bighole River as that is there only current native distrubution....the Rubys River fish were transplanted from the upper Big Hole population....they are cute little devils.

  3. Brian - the cuttthroat from the upper greys could be a yellowstone I suppose. Although it was a large fish for that part of the river--the largest we landed at least--and the picture was shared with WGF who confirmed it to be a finespotted. Most of the smaller fish we caught were clearly finespotted, but at the time in looking at the fish pictured I just assumed the loss of spots was due to the size and age of the fish as sometimes larger fish seem to have more diffuse spotting patterns.

    As for the grayling, it looks like I have a good reason to go fish the Bighole!

  4. Dave....there's a picture of a huge finespotted cutt caught in Colorado last year....is just as spotted as the smaller ones. When you get to the Bighole grayling are most abundant around Wisdom but if you really want to have some fun drive up to Jackson where the Bighole is not very big....zillions of brookies up there....sometimes during the hatches it looks like raindrops on the water. But I have caught several brookies in the 15 to 21 inch size there....biggest brookies I've ever seen in a stream in the Northwest. I still envy you the Piaute....I looking to catch all subspecies of rainbow, cutthroat and charr native to North America....although the proliferation of unnamed mykiss subspecies in Mexico is getting daunting.....

    Love your blog...

  5. Dave...you can appreciate getting to take one of the cutthroat trout subspecies off your list. You already posted a photo of the Humboldt Cutthroat which was one of the two obscure cutthroat subspecies....the unnamed Humboldt and Whitehorse Creek subspecies. I recently got this email correspondence from Dr. Robert Behnke on the subject:

    I can tell you that soon all subspecies of cutthroat trout will have official scientific names. Reviewing all of the most recent evidence, Pat Trotter and I wrote a description of O,C. humboldtensis to be published in the next issue of Western North American Naturalist. We include the formerly "underscribed" Whitehorse cutthroat as humboldtensis, and the cutthroat native to the Quinn River drainage of the Lahontan basin. We traced a direct correction from Humboldt-Quinn-Whitehorse to explain our conclusion. Robert Behnke

    So it looks like you have "humboldtensis" wrapped up. Wish I were on the trip to Christmas Island too....one of my dream trips.

  6. Brian,

    Thanks for the info. Very ggod to know. One of the things I did not write about was the trip home from Jarbidge. I drove up through Idaho and down to Whitehorse. It is tough to find the water (although there is a great hotspring). I ended up way off the road when a gnarly lightning storm rolled in. Couldn't find the creek and then blamo...flat tire. Long story short it was pretty tough getting out of there. Closest to being struck I've ever been and limped home on a dinky spare...

    Even if it is a humboldt, I still want to catch one!

  7. Dave....was just looking at your list of trout again....I am so far behind you. Noticed you had caught o.m.irideus both riverine and anadramous steelhead and you had caught o.m. gairdneri....river form but no o.m. gairdneri steelhead as of yet?

  9. Dear Dave,

    I am currently searching for images of threatened Salmonid species on behalf of the ARKive project. I came across images of some of these species that I would very much like to include on the ARKive website with your permission. The species are Oncorhynchus gilae and Salvelinus confluentus.

    It is ARKive's aim to compile audio-visual records for the 17,000-plus species currently threatened with extinction, according to the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Red List of threatened species.

    If you wouldn't mind us using your two images on our website(www.arkive.org) please email me at katrina.armour@wildscreen.org.uk.

    Many thanks and best wishes,
    Kaz Armour
