Pretty cutthroat 7/20

[netboy]

Caught this pretty cutthroat this morning below Bull Shoals dam. He took a parachute Sulphur and looked like a big pumpkin when he came up to take the fly. 

 

I didn't get a measurement but I think it's the biggest cuttie I have caught up here.

Beautiful fish. Love those colors

A beauty for sure!  I'll take an estimate on length if you don't mind, just curious.

My guess would be around 22".

Look at the pic and measure against your rod. I’d bet you could get it within 1/2 inch accuracy anyway. 

Beautiful Fish. Cuties love to eat bugs off the surface.

Wow.  What a pretty cutt.  On a dry no less.

Are those spawning colors?  Incredible.

I think so. The AGFC guy at the Bonneville cutthroat egg planting on the Norfork said they spawn this time of year.

Awesome!  Beautiful fish there.  I'm not big into fish mounts but a replica of that would look amazing over a fireplace or in the office.
