Our destination is the Thorofare Region of Yellowstone National Park, considered the most remote spot in the lower 48, with expert fly angler, guide, and author, Paul Weamer, Coordinator of the Yellowstone Fly Fishing Volunteer Program.  Paul and a group of 14 researchers ventured deep into the Thorofare to discover if the efforts to reduce the lake trout population in Yellowstone Lake are positively impacting cutthroat populations.  The answer may surprise you.      Paul is a contributing writer for Fly Fisherman Magazine and has written seven books on fly fishing including Favorite Flies for Yellowstone National Park: 50 Essential Patterns from Local Experts. Today he shares his epic adventure in the Thorofare through quicksand and mudholes, blown downs and swamps, not to mention the challenges of traveling over 140 miles on horseback.  Would he do it again?  Let’s find out!
