Quick tactics for cutthroat trout

Utah's native trout look up: cutts are the most willing dry-fly fish in the state. Stream fish hold in the obvious soft water; lake fish (Strawberry, Bear Lake) cruise the banks and points in packs, especially early. They eat confidently but fight the least dirty of the trout — protect them, they're the natives.

Terrestrials, mayflies, caddis, midges, and at big waters, minnows and chubs.
