Fishing Techniques

• For Cutthroat trout

  When fishing streams, cast upstream and retrieve with the current to mimic natural drift, increasing your chances of hooking wary cutthroat trout.

• For Yellowstone cutthroat trout

  Match the hatch: observe insects near the water and choose lures or flies of similar size and color. Focus on areas with structure or current breaks where trout like to hold.

• For Lake char

  Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.
