My best cutthroat fishing is Always on beaches with super srtong tidal flows. Meaning the current similar to a river with big boulders close to the beach. 10 to 15 fish in 2 h reliably with a green worm like pattern, I found while a trout spilled it's stoach content. Call it flyfishing for dummies, no stripping, just let it swing through the current and hold on.
I agree with you about the strong current being a big plus. Would that be like a San Juan worm you're using, or a different shape? I'm interested in trying something like that.
Good to see you out on the beach agin. I'm guessing that it is a good sign that you're catching little SRC as it bodes well for the future. The last few years I've seen the same thing in May and early June.
Well Timothy, you and I have had the same luck fishing. I have had zero luck for any SRC, larger than 6", since Dec 1. Not sure why. I have called many sources and can not get an answer. Not even the WDFW biologists can give me an explanation. Guesses, but no explanation. I have tried from the Narrows bridge up to Irondale, only tiny SRC. Was probably at KMSP around the same time just missed you. I need to start fishing the lakes and get ready for the rivers and streams. We still need to meet up again, I do have a spot I want to take you. But, yesterday still had no SRC. Lots of bait fish but no SRC. They'll be back, HOPEFULLY. Are you a fresh water guy at all? If so, lets plan a float. I have two tubes.
I caught a couple of 12" fish on 3/14 and 3/18 at Scenic Beach, other than that - just these little ones. I'd be very happy to join you and see the spot you've mentioned - maybe once the fish start to show up in numbers? As far as freshwater goes, I really don't! I'd love to have a go at some streams, but local options are few and far between.
Thank you Timothy enjoyed it very much
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome vid Tim! Thank you 😁
Thank you!

I'm willing to take it as a good sign, too. The season is still young.
Nice, if you ever get the chance Vancouver Island has great sea run Cutthroat fishing , Even around The metro Victoria area
I've heard a lot about how good the fishing is up there. I'm definitely going to give it a shot.
