Cutt-Slam and Master Angler

WYOMING CUTT-SLAM

Created in 1996, the Wyoming Cutt-Slam program helps anglers learn more about Wyoming’s cutthroat trout subspecies and increases appreciation for the efforts to enhance and conserve this precious resource. To participate In the Cutt-Slam, all you need to do is hit the road and catch each of the four cutthroat trout subspecies in their native range in Wyoming. Send us a clear photo with the date and location of catch in our online application https://wgfapps.wyo.gov/masterangler/Welcome.

To find out where to catch each subspecies, visit the interactive Cutt-Slam fishing map on our web page.
