Nice job guys! Sounds like a blast!

Very nice fish. Hey, I've only tried for cutts in Lake WA once (last January). Can I ask you what speed you usually troll? I might have been moving a bit too fast with my leaded line and double whammys.

Thanks,

Tim

I often catch fresh fish for my family but the fish your taking home "to feed the fam" have a consumption advisory by DOH. Lake Wa. Cutthroat are specifically listed as fish to avoid. They also recommend that if you eat them to limit your consumption to fish <12". Just thought you might want to know. Nice fish.

fishcounter: Sweet, thanks for that info...already knew it...they're great smoked :) gotta try it man...

Tim - aim for 1-2mph. Anything faster is too fast. PM me if you need more detail.

Nice fish. I need to learn this fishery at some point, since I live right on LW.

kk does it again!..... KK what are you going to school for? you can start your own fishing show... nice fish!

Na, keep the school going strong. Once fishing turns into a job, it's not fishing anymore...I'll stick to being a student :)
