In 2007 F&G did a study of 9 southwest lakes that included Grasmere and Shoofly.
They collected 10 Lahontan Cutts from each. Average size was about 12" for Grasmere and 14" for Shoofly.
So they were in there and alive and well in 2007. If it was me, I would give them a try as they are stocked with fry regularly. I don't know if either one had a water drawdown event in the last couple of years though. F&G would probably know.
By the way the mercury levels for the fish tissue there was:
319 ng/g for Grasmere, and 502 ng/g for Shoofly. Advisories are issued for 300 and above.
Shoofly's reading may be higher simply because of the slightly higher average size.
They sound fun to catch, but I still wouldn't eat many!
