Sea Run Cutthroat in rivers. What's your jam?

[G_Smolt]

Topwaters.

I don't have a pic of the sz6 model, this is a U401 sz4. Cutts have eaten this one before, but if I'm fishing intentionally for them, sz6 it is.
Basically a Gartside Gurgler with all the stuff that doesn't catch fish omitted, and a foam strip body.

There's one fly that has out-fished a #6 or #8 Brat's Brat and a #8 Royal Coachman Streamer for me.

The Professor in size 8.



You're welcome.

oh yeah, almost forgot about those too. Years ago, I did a trip with Rich. Worth every penny.

Rich was such a good dude..retired with Cathy on a small lake in the Midwest...and one hell of a fly tyer

For sea run cutthroat I fish a size 6 or 8 Spade or size 8 or 10 Muddler. However, after last fall I'm leaning more toward matching the hatch with either a dead drifted and then skated October caddis. It was very productive for Shad and I last September.

Rolled Muddler is what I usually fish. Sometimes Reverse Spider in orange or yellow.

For dries I’ve done well with Crane fly patterns, but for the most fun under certain conditions a size 16 BWO is the bees knees.

Careys Special in olive, brown, or peacock is my go to. steelhead like to hit them from time to time as well. i like to swing em and they typically slam it as the line straightens out downriver - try twitching or stripping it a few times before recasting always makes for an exciting hit.

Do you tie them? If so, please up some pictures here or in the What's in Your Vise thread!
