Cut-Throat Trout
Cut-Throat Trout, named for the distinctive red or orange slashes on their lower jaws, are a beautiful and historically significant trout species. While their native range is primarily the western United States, stocked populations or hybrids can sometimes be found in select areas. They are opportunistic feeders, consuming insects, smaller fish, and crustaceans. They tend to prefer cooler, clean water and can be found in riffles, pools, and along stream banks. Catching a Cut-Throat often involves imitating their natural food sources with flies or using small, natural-looking lures.
