3/19/2008 11:32:00 PMYeah I can be stopped...it's called the wind/weather. Also, these fish are fickle, one day the bite is on, the next it can be off. I don't take anything for granted.
I forgot to mention the water temp had warmed from three days prior from 44.5F to 45.9F.

3/20/2008 12:53:00 AMThanks JT26. It was a "lake cutt" that had just spawned out. There were two big eggs left-over that the female fish could not excrete. This is the second fish of this size this year (long and skinny). My other fish went 23" long and was 3.8 pounds. This fish was 3 pounds.

3/20/2008 1:01:00 AMthanks kevinb. i'm looking for someone to go out with me on saturday from 8 to 6. if anyone is interested, or this fits their "time frame" simply drop me a pm. i'm willing to teach anyone wanting to learn the fishery; it takes patience, stealth, and skill. if you got what it takes, you'll take home so gorgeous meat, and awesome smoked fish. look forward to hearing from some of you via pm. saturday is the 22nd of march, 2008.

3/20/2008 11:31:00 AMSounds like some great action! Although I would love to get out and exchange some mutual fish info, this weekend doesn' work. But, how about giving me a call and let's chat. I bet we could assist eachother in raising our success rates. I've fished he lake for 40 years and might have a trick or two for ya. Jon 425 445 1909

3/20/2008 1:08:00 PMThat's very cool kutt. It just amazes me the fisheries we have here that very few get to joy . your willingness to teach is what this is all about too. props to you

3/20/2008 2:20:00 PMI've noticed that they taste about the same as quality bows. They are superior in taste to bows you catch in small area lakes like Pine and Beaver. These trout taste very good - kind of like a mix between a salmon and trout - if that at all makes any sense...lol.

3/20/2008 3:19:00 PMyes these trout taste way better then any trout from pine or beaver lake as i was lucky enough to go out with kutt killa and these trout tasted amazing

3/20/2008 4:54:00 PMsounds like i need to try and get one of these cutts and try them out on the grill!! Do you think that the taste is due to the different bait that is in washington vs what they would eat in a smaller lake like pine??

3/20/2008 6:14:00 PMThe hatchery fish at Pine, especially recently planted ones, do not taste good. White mushy meat.
Holdover trout from Pine and Beaver will taste better and have pink meat, since they've been ingesting more carotene in their diet (from the natural foods) for more than a year.
The cutts on Lake WA are all native, and so they've been eating natural foods all their lives. The quality in taste is also attributable to their fat content. The closer they get to spawning, the less fat reserves, since that fat has been used to develop eggs. Bottom line: the further away from spawning stage, the better the quality of meat.

I have found few trout that rival the taste of big fat LK WA cutthroat.

3/20/2008 7:30:00 PMI'd have to agree 100% with Shad_Eating_Grin. You gotta taste the LW cutts to truly treasure these fish...(Note: many fish are now re-entering the lake - they just finished spawning some of them -- they left behind some eggs in their tummies).
