Omak Lake Popular Fish - Cutthroat Trout

Cutthroat Trout (Cutts) Fishing

This year, fishing for Lahona cutthroat trout in Omak Lake is again delivering great results. While the ideal setting for cutthroats is in a river or stream, they are also stocked in reservoirs, like Omak Lake which consistently delivers trophy cutthroats. For those who enjoy fly fishing, the key is to match the hatch. Like all fish, cutthroat like to have some sort of cover. They will hang out in boulders, fallen trees, along drop-offs and ledges. Catching cutthroat trout here with lures or bait is also productive. Presented properly, cutthroat trout can be caught on small spinners and spoons.
