Hi All,
Long time lurker here. I can't seem to find any info online. I was recently up in park valley and it had me thinking of the trout in the streams on the south slope of the raft river mountains.
I thought I heard somewhere that those fish were a unique strain of Bonneville cut with a different phenotype that look more like a rainbow. No red slash on the jaw, more fine spots etc. Those creeks terminate into the sagebrush and don't run anywhere. So it would make sense that they could be genetically unique.
I also recall hearing that they were just called Bonneville trout, not Bonneville cutthroat.
Does anyone know anything about this or can point me in the right direction?
