Cutthroat trout come in several variations including the Westslope, Yellowstone, and Bonneville strains. All cutthroats are distinguished by red slashes under their lower jaws, hence the name.
They demand the best in water quality and are usually aggressive about taking whatever the angler throws their way. Because of this eagerness to bite, they must be protected by special regulations in much of their range (note special cutthroat regulations, which vary from region to region). Where they are abundant, cutthroats offer some of the hottest catch-and-release wild trout action any angler could ask.
