Since so many people in this sub seem to be unfamiliar with this species, I thought I’d post a few photos of some costal cutthroat I’ve caught.

To clarify the fish in the first image was dispatched, hence why it isn’t in the water. Whenever I post photos of these fish there’s always a few people who comment trying to say these are rainbows, and while they may resemble rainbows to the untrained eye they are in fact a species of cutthroat. Hoping I can clear up the confusion many seem to have. The red slash isn’t very visible in many photos, but it’s absolutely there. These fish are quite commonly caught in my area of BC as well as much of the PNW.
