When Fly fishing for Cutthroat Trout in Pemberton, BC Canada. Use either a sink tip or full sinking line with a type 3-4 sink rate. I always suggest a 6 Lb tippet because occasionally you will hook a monster Cutthroat. Cutthroat can reach a staggering 6.5 Lbs in the Pemberton area. In my opinion Coastal Cutthroat are the hardest fighting Trout pound for pound. Lets just say they don’t like being hooked. Flies I would have in fly box would include Pink intruders, Foxy Lady Streamer, Red Rib Salmon Fry and Salmon Fry Fly. Coastal Cutthroat Trout are furious feeders and are clearly a predatory fish.
When Spin fishing for Cutthroat use small spoons and spinners. My favorites are the Pink spud valley spinner and the Spud Valley 21 gram Fish Scale spoon. Both spinner and spoon will work best with a slow to moderate retrieve. Look for deeper holding waters when fishing for Cutthroat Trout. They also like to hide in structure and undercut shorelines to ambush their prey.
