Cutthroat Trout fishing at Duck Fork Reservoir
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. By summer they slide out to 6 to 21 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 21 ft. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or a inline spinner gets it done.
