    Default Finally!

    I just caught (and released) my first ever cutthroat from the salt this morning. Fry imitations were being completely ignored so I gave a Tom Thumb a try and hooked this little guy almost immediately.

    awwww, isn't he cute! They're one scrappy fish, regardless of their size! What wt were you using?

    Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to get out for some salty cutties!
    Fly fishing is not only a method to catch fish, but a state of mind.

    11th Warrior, I'm using a 6 weight. Certainly overkill for this little guy, but it's the lightest rod I've got right now. For calm days like today, a lighter rod would have been ideal.

    Congratulations. This is a day that you won't forget. I caught my first ct off the beach, a 12.5" hatchery, on August 21, 1993 on a #1 Silver Mepps spinner (and yes, a journal helps with the memories!). Caught coho and cutts in the weeks following and quickly became a little beach junkie.

    The best way to a fishermans heart is through his fly.
