Cutt's in the rivers

[Derrick-k]

I recently found a remote river, hike in required. Not many people fish this since there is no trail, However I finally found a way down last sunday and found the river and first cast I landed a nice 15 inch WILD cutthroat and then proceeded to catch about 5 more. I was using rooster tail spinners as well as small daredevil spoons, however I was wondering what flies i should use to target these aggressive fish, salmon do spawn in the river in the fall, any suggestions?

maybe a royal coachman, I'm not much of a fly fisherman but thats what I would use

Any dry fly that floats high will work (Stimulators, cadis etc). Cutty's are the most guilable trout for a dry fly. TTFN

What about streamers?

Thanks in advance!

I use PMD's in the morning, BWO's in the evening, Elk Hair Caddis all day long and Red Humpies mid day. BUT, I fish for Westslope Native Cutthroat in the rivers of northern Idaho. They are beautiful fish but have never seen the salt. I've seen beavers, eagles, otters, deer, bears, moose and rattle snakes while fishing for them. Gorgeous country with the sweet smell of wet cedars wafting through the air, but no salt. To me there is nothing better than watching the morning mist lifting off the river and feeling your fly line tighten to match the arch of 4 weight rod as the "Ring of the Rise" engulfs your fly.
Sorry, I wax piscatorial.
