Kent: One month ago my sons and I fished the walk in area on the west side , we caught about 50/50 chubs to cutthroats, and while they were not trophys, their health was much improved. And the ratio of chubs was much lower. The cutthroats were nice and fat, Very few were the skinny ones of the last few years. We fish that bank every year a couple times , and the difference has been noticeable.

Lonnie, I probably don't appreciate the apparent improvement in the quality of the cutthroats in Scofield because I haven't fished it for probably 6 or 7 years. As a result, I haven't been catching the small and skinny fish in recent years. It is probably unfair to compare them to the cutthroats in Strawberry that grow very fast, and in MNSHO are, on average, far heavier than the similar length cutthroats I caught in Scofield.
