The Cutthroats have shown up in good numbers beginning last week fishing them four days and will get back at it the rest of this week. We’re catching 20” to 24” using Wooly Buggers, small black and purple leeches, Yellow Spot nymphs, Flashback Pheasant Tails, and Zebra Midges. Based on past history the run can last for up to three weeks ebbing and flowing as the Cutts come and go.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
