Notes
Dan Cahill's cutthroat pattern is meant for winter fishing on the Harrison and Fraser, when the water is clear and air pressure is up and mayflies and stoneflies are hatching. On the Fraser, fish it on a down-and-across swing with a floating line over long sloping bars and slow current, usually taking at or near the end of the swing; on the Harrison, swing it over gravel indentations in faster water, and try it under a strike indicator in deep slots, starting in shallow water near the bank.
