There is some excellent beach fishing for Cutthroat between the Salmon Point and the mouth of the Oyster. The river being very low at present makes it very difficult to find Cutthroat. If you are new to beach fishing I would suggest a few simple bait fish patterns, Mickey Fins,shrimp patterns, Clousers etc. in sizes 8 and 6. Look for fish showing, often very close in so be careful wading. The flood tide is often more productive but there are no rules. Give the beach a go, there are some large 20" + fish out there.
Good luck

 

Look for rocky beaches, look for structure, look for moving water... and look for fish and fishermen. Keep a journal of where you fished and at what tide. Also consider using very sparse flies.

Check out Chester Allen's book as well as Les Johnson's book - both have been available at Nile Creek Fly Shop in the past month or so, though I may have bought the last copy of Les Johnson's when I was in a few weeks back.

I'm not going to tell you exact spots because I'm sure you can find a rocky beach somewhere - I'm new to the island and new to cutthroat beach fishing and I managed to figure it out

Since arriving on the island, cutts from the beach have been my favorite. I use my 5wt with a clear intermediate sinking poly leader mostly, but have gotten a few beasts while fishing for pinks on my 7wt that have put a decent bend in that, too.

On my recent trip to Oyster River area to fish coho I saw way too many cutthroat to even count. Look for small baitfish, birds are a good indicator of this. Lots of kelp out that way and at low tide it is very accessible. Cutties love to hang around strong rip tides that carry food. Check out the points of the beach, the tides seem to merge at points and so do fish. Where there are seals there are cutties, its their favorite food! I will second buying Chester Allens book, hes a great author and seems like a stand up guy. Too bad you cant buy a backstage pass, so to say and hook up for a days fishing with the author Good luck, dont stress and just walk the beach slooowly.....they will show themselves.

lots of fish on the beach... lots in the river too... look for the deeper pools with some structure in the low water... black reverse spider is hard to beat
