Have Fun and Help Protect Utah’s Native Cutthroat Trout

The Utah Cutthroat Slam is a way to have an angling adventure and support our native trout legacy. For just $20, you can register to embark on the challenge. Money raised will be used to help fund native cutthroat trout conservation projects across the state. Can you catch and release each of the four Utah cutthroat trout subspecies in their native waters?

Cutthroat trout are beautiful, live in pristine environments and are the only trout native to Utah and much of the Rocky Mountain region. Help Utah Trout Unlimited and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources protect this natural treasure.
