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 Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

• 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.
