I love going to Strawberry for those cutthroat trout! Don't get me wrong I love to catch tigers as well but like its been said there are many lakes to choose from which hold these fish. This summer I went backpacking to one of my favorite places in the uintas. It was about 15 miles in to this lake and I was really excited because I hadn't fished it for 10 years. The reason I was excited was because we always catch some nice native cutthroat trout! Well I fished hard and came up with all tiger trout and only saw one cutt cruising the bank. Although it was still fun, I was disappointed that I didn't catch any cutthroat trout and if they are still in there, it probably won't be for long. Anyway, I also think it is nice to be able to go to strawberry and catch nice cutthroat trout; it is managed very well. With the tigers being more aggressive than the cutts, who knows, then the chub population gets smaller and smaller and it might throw everything off..... but then again i'm not a fishery biologist!?
