Is the dock in the water at Arrowrock?

Kodiak the dock is in at Arrowrock. We went out Saturday night after my sons hockey game. we fished from 7 til about 10. We got 3 koks and 5 rainbows down by the mouth of the southfork. Then on Sunday we got 9 koks and only 1 rainbow with just a couple of squaw fish. Most of the fish came on a orange and yellow flasher with a green hoochie. Had the same flasher on another pole with a pink hoochie with very little action. My son has been asking when we would catch a bull trout because of the signs alone the res. So Sunday we caught a 10 inch one. He was a little disappointed when I told him we could not take it out of the water for a picture. Still a very fun weekend.

Looks to me like that is a west slope cutthroat. Where did you catch it?

 

[jimbojump]

Ive caught two of them at Arrowrock...but the first one everyone thought was a juvie Coho...it has a very fine scale pattern compared to the rainbows and different coloring as well...but at least I can say it isnt a Bull trout...phew...

We have caught a couple of cutties up there this year..and also got into about a 20" Bull trout.....slimey devils they are...

Ive fished for Dolly Vardens in Oregon years ago...nasty mean they are...for sure! Good job Gene! Those cutties as you call them are def different....but nice all the same! At least way better than the damn squaws...I have probably killed over a 150 of em since this season started...Grrrr...
