Headed out to Lake Sammamish this morning to try our luck with trout. Surprisingly had a pretty good day. Two of us were fishing and we managed to bring in 5 cutts together, as well as several misses. The largest was an 18 incher, followed a 16 and 15 and so on. It seems that the key was tipping the hooks with worm and covering it in shrimp scent.

We are not experienced with cutthroat fishing, so we had to look up the regs on our cell phones as we were fishing. Our understanding of it was 5 fish per person and the size does not matter unless its a large rainbow or steelhead, correct?

And one more thing, some of these fish had eggs in em, and they appeared to be pretty developed. I'm just wondering if its a bad idea for us to continue fishing if they are preparing to spawn? From everything I've read it doesn't seem like the cutthroats are anywhere near threatened, but who knows these days.
