I also work and have other responsibilities, and an online group that is my first online priority, so somehow, I never got around to doing a report.
Snake River Cutthroats are lovely fish, and were a highlight of last summer's fishing for me. Regarding Lakers, I would try ice fishing Colter Bay in Jackson Lake, according to online information. There should be other people around there to help with that. I have caught Lakers, in Jefferson Lake in Colorado from shore, in June on Krocodile lures several years ago. I saw others catching them there too. Some of the fish that I saw others catching below the Jackson Lake dam might have been Lakers too, but I was too far away to be sure. However, I did talk to one person there who said that he had caught a good size Laker a little while earlier on a Kastmaster. While I watched him, he caught a Cutthroat using his flyrod. Anyway, Lakers are also a possibility in the Snake River below Jackson Lake, but Cutthroats are much more common than Lakers in the river, while the inverse is probably true in the lake.
