Cutthroat begin their freshwater migration in late Fall and will remain in freshwater for up to six months. When the Cutthroat first arrive into the fresh water their diet consists primarily of nymphs and salmon eggs. Later on in the season, when the salmon eggs hatch into fry, the cutthroat will begin to key in on them.
Cutthroat fishing can be very challenging at times.
