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 Common shiner

  Use light line (2-4 lb test) and small hooks (size 10-14) for a natural presentation and better hooksets when targeting Common Shiners.

• For Westlope cutthroat trout

  Westlope cutthroat trout are often found in clear, cold streams; fish upstream, presenting your bait or lure naturally and avoiding spooking the fish by keeping a low profile.
