Lake Sammamish Cutthroats are like a box of Chocolates.
Unlike Saturday's 18" Resident cutt, last night I hooked up with an 18" Searun cutt.
These pictures show the contrast between the 'homebodi...

The cutts are more plump lately and fighting harder too. Am just averaging a little over one fish an hour. Have been unsuccessful at loading pictures lately, so I hope this one works. You'll notice in...

Got consistent action from 8:30-1:00.
The biggest cutts were 16"+, but the majority were 13". Then got a couple more Whitefish as well.
All in the south end.

Here is a pic of a 16" Cutt along with a pic of a 16" Whitefish.
The Cutt gave a great fight and went airborne thrice.

It's been pretty slow for me lately, but after trolling for a few hours with just a few light bites, I got lucky with this 22" bright Cutthroat.
What a fun catch.

He got a bit chilly, but thanks be to this sweet little catch-and-...

The drive to Dry Lake from the Seattle area was so worth it. My first time there.
