fish question

When I was a kid I fished for blueback on the the Chehalis with my grandpa every year,mid July until the salmon came in, early Sept. their searun cutthroat  trout.
A worm behind a willow leaf hildabrant, trolled close to shore. I think that fisheries is almost gone now.

anything you hear called a "blueback" in the harbor are searun cutts.  the guys pulled off the highway along the west fork of the hoquiam in the summer are usually fishing for them.  a lot of guys like to use chunks of sucker meat.

I grew up fishing the Willapa which is not too far from Aberdeen. We always called the sea run cuts in the river blue backs. Used to catch a bunch of them when I was a kid.

Anytime ive heard someone talk about bluebacks they are talking about sockeye and this last year was crazy year for them. We would be bank fishing the columbia for summer steelies and you couldnt keep em off there was so many in the river. They had record numbers going over the dam every day. They sure are tasty little buggers about 5-7 pounds and usually start around 4th of july

That's because the common name for searun cutthroat in sw washington was "harvest trout". But on the harbor and south coast cutthroat were "blueback" (along with sockeye, to make the matter more confusing...)
