Hey Beau6, if you have the time and after you have reached your goal, see if you can make that all 3 cutthroat species that reside in this state just to say you did it.  :)

Trout Royal Slam (7): Brook, Brown, Bull, Cutthroat, Golden, Lake, and Rainbow.

Where are Golden trout in this state?
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I've caught all of them except Makinaw, but I know people who have done well in Cle Elum lake and lake Chelan has a bunch. What are the rules, do you have to catch them all in a certain timeframe? Certain size?

This was the first query in a google search for goldens.

I think they are going to give you the most trouble out of all the species.

A co-worker just went to chelan with her husband and a guide and they caught a boat load of lakers.
Team nubby!

Where are you going to legally catch a bull trout in WA?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Do you have to "keep" the specimen? I know of legal rivers that have them. C&R?

Legal to target bull trout?
It's a serious question...not trying to be a smartass.

The Skagit, for example, it's legal to retain a Bull trout in excess of 20" in certain stretches and certain times of the year.

Now that's kind of a different question.  "Target."
I think what I posted above applies to incidental catching, but I'm not certain of that.

But those in the Skagit above 20" would be considered Dolly Vardens...sea run bull trout. Not a true Bull trout.
It is completely legal to target Dollys in various places.
