Title: Cutty season? When? Where?
Post by: Matuka Jack on November 20, 2004, 11:20:14 AM

Hello Everybody,
Maybe it looks like the cutty season is next. 
When does does it start?
How long does it last?
Where do you fish for them?

Thanks for the info.

Early March or even the end of February cutthroat get more active, you can find them at the confluence of the streams and rivers that flow into the Fraser.
hairs ear nymph, epoxy minnows and gold bead headed sparce muddlers can entice these beautiful fish.
Tricky fishing for them and a few secrets must be had before you start getting into them :)

I find that where I live it starts earlier. Once the dead salmon are flushed away than the cutties come in and thats when I hit them so maybe another 3 weeks. They love eggs. We have some big sea run cutties that average 3-5lbs.

Whatever happened to Chris? Last year he posted a good report about cutty fishing.

OUCH FA!!!  :'(

Ill be feeling the sting for some time!!  :)

I get the cutties good here on out.  Once the salmon eggs are hard to find they suddenly realize they are hungry!
Especially fun when the fry hatch.

Good tips posted here to get em.

Interesting that their fished in December, i always thought when the chum fry came out it was time to target them, being that there are no fry at this time and only eggs or sculpin on their menu I'm wondering what to put on the end of my line?
