Cutbow Trout

First adventure to Carter Lake with the boy's! It was a long day in the kayaks on the water. I think we were there from 7am to 6pm. The bite didn't kick off until about 4pm as afternoon clouds rolled in. The first big Cutbow I hooked up with, twisted my two lines around each other and then wrapped around my phone stand. As I was fighting this swamp donkey, my phone was knocked off it's mount, and straight into the lake. My phone now rests in peace in about 90 feet of water. Worth it. 👌

Few lil pretty native ‘Bows from one of my favourite local spots. The first fish pictured I’m inclined to call a cutbow, even though they’re extirpated from the system. I think he’s got some long lost cutty genetics in there, there’s a clear slash under the jaw and the rest of the characteristics check out as well. Got the girl out and she hooked into 5 fish on a small panther martin spinner. Her first fish ever! She was ecstatic. Got 10 between the two of us, 5 each. All mine came on a royal coachman pattern. Great day at the creek.

Nice 25" on the fly!

Finally beat my PB with this 26" 9lb trout!

My first trout!
