Cheers Sylus

The Pitt River and Allouette River are good - those are just locations that I know about and been to personally.

the vedder trout fishing is good from now till about jan/feb fishing egg imations

Stave, Harrison, Coquitlam, rivers

[Sam6140]

Is the Coquitlam River actually any good for Cutties?  I live right by it, and never fish it.  I used to go there when I was a kid, but never saw a fish.   Where on the river is a good spot?  Under the railroad tracks, near Riverside Fly & Tackle?  Or further down by the Colony Farm area?

You can catch coastal cutthroat trout pretty much everywhere in the Lower Mainland. They are caught on beaches in DFO's management area 28, around Richmond in all three arms of Fraser River, in small tributaries of the Lower Fraser River, as well as small river systems that feed into the sea around here.

This time of the year, you'll find them in the Fraser River and tributaries. They'll congregate to be where salmon are spawning, feeding on deposited eggs. Their diet eventually shifts to flesh of salmon carcasses and aquatic insects in the winter months during their spawning period. Once spring comes around, they hunt for juvenile salmon.

Two main systems where the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery releases hatchery raised coastal cutthroat trout are Stave River and Chehalis River, so you can expect to find fairly consistent fishing around this area.

try some cutty lakes or the harrison river

[CohoJake]

The Chehalis has good cutthroat fishing in the summer (for when you get bored of trying for that miracle summer steelhead).

Stave below the toilet bowl and behind the spawning channel use flesh color rabbit zonkers.

Thanks for all the help! i will put it to good use

[RonniePache]

not rivers, and sorta out of the way, but the sasquatch lakes have lots of cutties in 'em

[Easywater]

Are those cutties on the Chehalis cam?

Relatively large (for cutties), fully spotted fish with large tails - searun?

[Sam6140]

Looks like Cutties to me.  Maybe rainbow.

Got two nice cutties on the Stave on Sunday morning on olive muddlers.

There are very few cutts in the aloutte, if you go there and target them  most likely you will catch squaw fish

That's pike minnow...and you just need to know the right time to try.  The cutts follow the salmon into the river as they do in all the salmon bearing streams.  Fish the tail outs with egg or flesh flies or minnow patterns and you will find them.  Just remember that all wild trout are released.
