The south sound searun cutthroat are a little iffy this time of year. They are moving around quite a bit. The area you were fishing and also the Narrows are full of roving ratpacks of resident silvers (delayed release from the Squaxin pens) of between 12-15 inches. They are feeding on euphasid and amphipods and small clousers which will draw strikes from the cutts as well.

I have no photos to post as I'm too low tech. You can see my "Miyawaki Beach Popper" and "Crazy Plankton" in the fly archive on pugetsoundflyfishing.com
