The Wyoming Cutt-Slam
The Cut-Slam drawings were born out of the love of being on the waters of Wyoming with a fly rod fishing for native trout. With the hours spent with my ink pen, I’m not only paying tribute to Wyoming fisheries, I am also honoring Ron Remmick, the “Father of the Cutt-Slam.” With Ron being the father of the Cutt-Slam, Pinedale, Wyoming is its birthplace.
   Ron Remmick was a fisheries biologist for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in Pinedale, Wyoming from 1978 to 2002, when his service was cut short by cancer. He was a passionate advocate for Cutthroat Trout. Ron’s legacy is the “Cutt-Slam, a 1996 brainchild he developed to, “encourage anglers to learn about Wyoming’s cutthroat trout and develop an appreciation for the habitat needs and management programs necessary to maintain these species.”
The Cutt-Slam Series was created with my version of pen & ink stippling. Spot watercolor was added to enhance the unique markings of each individual cutthroat species.
