Searching for CUTTHROAT TROUT on the Stave and Harrison River!

I took a couple days off work to fish the Stave and Harrison river with my Dad in April 2021. Not much cutthroat action on the Stave despite seeing a bunch of salmon fry in the water. We did land a couple nice ones on the Harrison though!

Hi, is this on the south side of the harrison mills bridge?

[@oscarlambert3525]

hey man what's your setup your using for fly fishing on the Harrison?

[@fishandsticks8038]

I was using my floating line and a weighted fry/minnow pattern. At the time of this video there were quite a few cutties around searching for salmon fry.

hello new friend

[@hlam9452]

I've been to the Stave 4x since April and I'm 13-0 Whitefish to Cutthroat. All the anglers I've met there are in encountering the same. Past years haven't been this slow for cutties. How has everyone else been?

[@fishandsticks8038]

Ya it was very slow for us too. We were out on the Stave 4-5 times between April and May and only really caught whitefish.

[@thomasboston1887]

hey fisher man of the year humanity means you have some understanding of the fact that you are 98.6 degrees
the fish is 40.0 degrees that is a difference of 50 .o degrees how do think your fire like hand feels get some gloves genius

[@fishandsticks8038]

Thanks for the view! I'll try to keep my hands cooler next time.

[@worldaccordingtoowen7174]

Gloves are significantly worse for the fish as it removes their slime coating,
And this 50 degree difference in temperature you mentioned is the same difference in temperature as me and my bath water. not to mention the fact that humans INTERNAL body temp is 98.6 degrees which is significantly warmer than the temperature of the skin on your hands especially after being outside fishing
