Named
\nfor the red or orange marks found along the inner edge of the lower jar, Coastal
\nCutthroat trout rarely reach the weight of four pounds – a far cry from their
\nland-locked relatives who sometime top the scale above 40 pounds. Coastal Cutthroat
\nbegin their lives in small to medium-sized streams. Spending two years living
\nin freshwater means they rely on us to keep their waters clean and healthy.
\nAfter two years, Coastal Cutthroat migrate into the estuaries and nearshore
\nwaters of Puget Sound where they grow to maturity in a year or two. Once mature
\nthey return to their homewaters to spawn. Unlike salmon, Coastal Cutthroat trout
\nlive to spawn again, living up to 9 years total. An aggressive feeder, adult
\nCoastal Cutthroat prey on shrimp, sand lances, sculpins, and other shallow water
\ncreatures. Its scientific name is a tribute to Captain William Clark of the
\nLewis and Clark expedition. Helping keep Puget Sound streams and nearshore waters
\nhealthy is a tribute to both Captain Clark and to Coastal Cutthroat trout. <\/span><\/p>\n
