Thread: Uni thread 6/0 , Red
Tail: Green Crystal Flash
Body: Silver diamond braid
4# Mono to tie down the green crystal Flash

You can find cutthroat trout in most Fraser River back waters,Lakes,Sloughs, Must cover lots of water to find these fish, if you see fish rising then you know they are there, If you dont see the fish rising keep walking, these fish like to show themseleves.
Happy Hunting
