    Fun time!

    Chris took us to a stream and knew exactly where to go. We were getting nibbles on almost every cast and pulled a few dozen dollies and a few cutthroat. Catch and release.

    Totally above and beyond!

    We caught twenty in four hours… mostly rainbow, one rainbow/cutthroat hybrid, and two brown. Kept four— which captain Eric cleaned for us— and released the rest. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The boat itself is great as is the equipment. All in all, a great experience and worth everything we paid.

    Incredibly Great Time!!

    We had an amazing fullday fishing excursion with Captain Eric. He was super knowledgable about all of the fishing, the equipment, and the fish…..basically everything. We caught an incredible amount of trout, including a massive Cut-throat trout and a very large rainbow, that he cleaned for us. We will definitely be back again, and he is highly recommended.

About Cutthroat Trout fishing

Size
4–8 lb
Food Value
None
Game Quality
Excellent

Cutthroat Trout fishing is all about classic Trout action and vivid colors. These beautiful game fish wear a bright red slash under the jaw and strike with confidence. They live in cold, clean rivers and lakes, and some coastal fish move between fresh and salt water. Anglers target them for aggressive surface takes, steady fights, and great sight fishing in clear water.

Fly fishing is the top choice. Dry flies float on the surface, while nymphs drift just under it. Keep drifts natural and casts gentle. Spinning also works well with light tackle. Small spinners and spoons shine in clear water. Where legal, simple bait like worms can tempt picky fish.

Expect an active day with lots of casting and moving. You may wade shallow runs or fish from a small drift boat. Beginners enjoy forgiving bites and frequent action, while experts chase wary, rising fish. Bring layers for changing weather, a hat, and polarized sunglasses to spot fish. Pack a small net, light leaders, and barbless hooks where required. Handle fish gently and release them quickly when practicing catch and release.

Rules for Cutthroat Trout vary by state, province, and water body. Always check local fishing license and permit needs before your trip. Review season dates, harvest allowances, and any special gear rules. Some waters are catch-and-release only, and native fish may have extra protections. Know the regulations so your day stays fun and responsible.
