Finally picked the right spot at the right time of the right day.
Although it took a few tries to pick the right fly.

Beautiful. Congratulations!
Nice fish!
Dark eh?
Gene-I’ve never caught a wild coastal cutthroat before. I thought all the fish I caught looked dark, but I don’t have a frame of reference. I’m pretty sure these fish overwintered in the lake, so I don’t know what their sea-run counterparts are supposed to look like. Can’t wait to find out!
I seem to catch darker coastal cutts in the spring. I’m not sure, but I think they’re male spawning colors.
I catch a lot of cutthroat on Vancouver Island and the are light color unless they are spawning. That fish definitely looks like it is ready to spawn. A sea run cutthroat is very silver, not the green / silver of a lake cuttroat
congrats!
Hey did you cut that trout’s throat?? ha
Oh, the Bead Headed Nymph!
Trout, Be aware! The Mad Fishicist has returned!
