I have followed the Lake Washington Cutthroat Trout fishing for sometime now and figured it was time to give it a shot! Launched at Magnuson Park at 10 am and made a quick run, in the chop, over to Hunts Point/Fairweather Bay which offered just enough protection from the wind. I deployed a 4" ProChip flasher in Glow Chart and a double glow mini hoochie. I worked the area for about an hour. There appeared to be a lot of fish and bait in the area but no takers. One other boat trolled the area. I pulled the gear and made a run to Faben Point which also was just sheltered enough from the wind. There I fished the pictured tackle and worked the ledges for about 45 minutes until the undeniable bounce of the rod tip happened. Wasn't a strong pull, but a fish! I grabbed the rod, popped the line off the clip and brought in a nice 14"er to the boat. The fish was a little lethargic out of the gates, but put on a nice show at the boat. Caught it in about 45ft of water, 25ft down on the cable. Pretty happy with my first trip out on the lake but still wondering if I actually got a cutt or a rare rainbow?
