Cutthroat A Journey Through the American West

Beginning in 1995, Michael Graybrook traveled to remote areas of the American West to take photographs of the trout underwater and released them unharmed. Collected in this new clothbound book are large, exquisitely reproduced photographs of all of the subspecies of cutthroat trout, stunning habitat images of streams, rivers, lakes, and the unspoiled areas of the West, along with Graybrook's vividly told stories of his adventures. A foreword by the world's most popular and respected fly fishing author John Gierach introduces the reader to Graybrook's mission and celebrates his skills as a photographer, angler, amateur scientist, and conservationist.

Michael Graybrook grew up in Pennsylvania’s Cumberland County. He saw his first trout in the fabled Letort Spring Run. He did not catch that trout. A practicing architect, Michael lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. John Gierach is a freelance writer living in northern Colorado. He is the author of 21 books including Trout Bum, Sex, Death and Flyfishing, Standing in a River Waving a Stick and A Fly Rod of Your Own.
