Actually, this statement is false. A study undertaken by UW and NOAA Fisheries was conducted in where they mentioned that the cutthroat trout had overtaken the squaw as the more prevalent species in the lake. However, I do agree with them being a "pesk" and eating salmon smolt and trout fingerlings, but then again, so do cutthroat...

Yeah but squaw fish serve absolutely no purpose to us fisherman. At least the cutts make for a fun fishery. And squaw fish dont migrate out to sea like a lot of the cutts. All year long they eat game fish smolt..... and thats about it
Squaw fish in some lakes serve a good purpose as bait for big makinaw...

In Priest lake, we catch a few squaw fish and use little strips of their meat on our bucktail flies behind a flasher when trolling for those mackinaws...

In Lake Washington, they do nothing but devour small fish like salmon/cutt/steelhead smolt...Not good in that situation...

You should write a book or start a guide service. Nice fish again.

Good luck...Maybe you can guide and write a book. Throw in tips,tactics and even some good old recipes. Looks like LW produces excellent cutthroat action. I would normally overlook Lake Wa.if you hadn't been showing and telling us. Just all around nice fish. Keep it up. Maybe you can call the book Kutts guide to cutts. or something like that.
