Cutthroat Trout– Prime Times: Year Round
Cutthroat trout are available in our local rivers 12 months of the year. They are a very scrappy fish that show an incredible ability to shake the hook. Although challenging to land, Cutthroat trout are very aggressive feeders, allowing anglers a wide variety of choices when it comes to presentation and choice of equipment.
Harrison Lake has a great population of wild Cutthroat trout some tipping the scale at 5lbs and better (20-26 inches in length). These fish provide great sport as we use only light spinning, often fly rods with small spinners, spoons, or flies depending on current conditions and time of year.
