I like browns over bows. My favorite eating trout is the brook trout. I'm not sure where you can catch them here.

Are cutts good to eat?

As for Browns at Green Lake, I've seen a 16" caught late spring on a kastmaster. I caught a small one on a kastmaster in early spring.

How does the taste hold up in dirty/warm water for cutts?

Cutt's are good, but you should release cutt's anyway because they are increaseingly sparse. The best eating trout in my oppinion is a steelhead.

Derrick, how common is it for a river to allow you to keep native steelies? Or is it a state wide thing where you must release all natives? Not really a steelhead fisherman, but its one of the next things on my list.

There are only a few rivers on the olypic peninsula that allow you to keep native steelies, The Hoh, BOGACHIEL RIVER, CALAWAH RIVER, CLEARWATER RIVER, DICKEY RIVER AND EAST FORK, GOODMAN CREEK, HOKO RIVER, PYSHT RIVER, QUILLAYUTE RIVER, QUINAULT RIVER, UPPER, and the SOL DUC RIVER, . Where you can keep natives it is a 1 fish a year limit. You can also keep a native in the green as well. Everywhere else release all native steelhead.
