Like other trout, cutthroats bite best in the early morning and evening hours. Although now uncommon, Lahontan cutthroat were at one time fished commercially in Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake, Nevada. Salmon occasionally have 12 usually 13 or more. There are usually large, angular black spots on the back and spots on both lobes of the tail. There are usually spots on the back and upper lobe of the tail, but none on the lower lobe.
Upper jaw extends past the rear margin of the eye.
Back is dark green with silver-green sides and belly. Largemouth bass are mainly fish eaters, although they will feed on crayfish and frogs. Active at water temperatures above 50 degrees F, largemouth bite best when the water warms up to above 60 degrees F. Adult bass tend to establish a home area with a rock or submerged tree or shrub at the center. Similar in appearance to the largemouth bass, smallmouth is even native to the same area, the Mississippi River system. This bass prefers slightly cooler water than the largemouth, so they tend to concentrate near the upper end of most lakes.
