I hit the soth fork again, fished from 3 till 5:30 caught 7 including a monster 24" hooked jawed brown trout. It was my biggest on a river so far. Once again the fish hit a Berkely Gulp minnow. I watched it come up from the bottom and inhale the minnow like a largemouth!! I noticed dozens of cutthroats feeding on small bugs, but they wouldn't eat the gulp. The browns would inhale the thing, it was hard to get the hook out, they would not let go !! Now that the weather is getting nice I am going to try for a 28" !! On a side note I caught the big brown in one of the most heavily fished areas of Swan Valley.
