They also are stocked in high mountain hike-in lakes where the water stays cool throughout the summer.Ĭoastal cutthroat trout are heavily spotted – even on the belly. The most common variety in Oregon is the coastal cutthroat found in the streams and beaver ponds in coastal drainages. These trout get their name from the red-orange slashes on the underside of the lower jaw. These fish feed primarily on smaller fish, so flies and lures that mimic minnows work well.
Today, native populations can be found in the Whitehorse and Willow creek basins that are so far southeast in Oregon they’re practically in Nevada. This variety has adapted to dry, highly alkaline conditions and was once widespread throughout the Lahontan Basin of California, Nevada and southeast Oregon.
