The Yellowstone Cutthroat print is taken from my original watercolor-gouache painting. The Yellowstone cutthroat trout is a freshwater fish in the salmon family. Native only to a few U.S. states, their original range was upstream of Shoshone Falls on the Snake River and tributaries in Wyoming, and in Yellowstone Lake and in the Yellowstone River. Yellowstone Lake and the Yellowstone River together contain the largest inland population of cutthroat trout in the world.

I love to see the fish jump! I wanted to capture a rainbow trout emerging from the water in the hunt for his meal. If only I had a fly in the water right before he went for the strike. Now, that would be something!

When gold was discovered in the East Kootenays of British Columbia in 1863, prospectors from all over the West surged northward. Edwin Bonner established a ferry in 1864 where the trail crossed the broad Kootenai River. Edwin sold his ferry business in 1875, but the location retained his name, later becoming The Village of Bonners Ferry when it was formally established in 1893. The rich Kootenai River Valley became known as the “Nile of the North,” as the Bonners Ferry Lumber Company grew to be one of the world’s largest lumber mills and the town began growing at a steady pace, and today, much of Main Street dates from this period of development.
